The woman was treated for smoke inhalation at the area of the apartment fire by the first responders.
The dog was given oxygen mask to breathe by the firefighters. The dog is making a recovery. No firefighters were hurt in the incident.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire which at this time.

I'm glad the firefighters gave the dog oxygen. We tend to forget sometimes that animals have lungs much smaller than ours.

That " house" looks a bit patchwork.
Wouldn't have taken long to burn
Glad the dog was saved

We wouldn't refer to that as a house
Chalet maybe.

@JudyEv According to documentaries on television, the firefighters report the fact that smoke inhalation kills fire victims first.

Smoke inhalation usually ends lives in fire over burning in a fire according to firefighters.

I guess firefighters, and fire chiefs, are always on duty, ready to respond to situations like this. Good on them, a good rescue.
