COEUR d'ALENE - Coeur d'Alene firefighters saved a small dog from an apartment fire at Coeur d'Alene Manor Apartments Wednesday morning.
The fire started in the kitchen of the apartment around 11 a.m., according to Coeur d'Alene Fire Chief Kenny Gabriel.
"A neighbor reported the fire, then these guys got it knocked down pretty quick," Gabriel said. "Then we found out there was a dog inside."
Gabriel said the dog was rescued and firefighters gave it some oxygen because the dog had been breathing a lot of smoke, but the dog was doing just fine after a few minutes.
He said the kitchen in the apartment suffered some fire damage and the rest of the apartment sustained smoke damage.
The apartment residents were not home at the time of the fire, but neighbor Dana Spencer cared for their dog until they returned home.
