Firefighters from Sacramento Fire Station #30 in North Natomas made an unusual rescue yesterday. A man called and said that he had just driven away from his home, when about three blocks later he heard “a meowing” noise coming from inside the engine area of his car. He immediately pulled over and lifted his hood. He heard what sounded like a cat somewhere inside the engine compartment.
Engine #30 responded and to everyone’s surprise, they found this little kitten tucked up under the car’s radiator. Fortunately he was safely removed and uninjured! The Firefighters from Engine #30 took the kitten back to their fire house where they bathed him and gave him some food and water.
Our Fire Dispatchers have affectionately named the young kitten, “Dip Stick!” Dip Stick is now awaiting adoption at the City of Sacramento’s Animal Shelter. You can adopt Dip Stick or other deserving animals by contacting the Animal Shelter at (916) 808-7387 between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. Tuesday through Friday and 8:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M. on Saturdays...

You're absolutely right. Next time my house is on fire or when I need someone to run inside an inferno to rescue a baby, I won't get one of these TV-watching "heroes." I'll call Animal Control!
Go ride with your local department and you'll see what I mean..Good Luck.
alzhimers, and then there are the volunteers (like my son) that really bust butt to help in what ever situation is necessary-- they would also like to know they are appreciated . take the time to say thanks once in a while-- it's really appreciated.
