Saskatoon fire crews rescue four dogs from blaze

The quick work of the Saskatoon Fire Department helped save four dogs trapped in a basement fire.

Around 3:35 p.m. Wednesday, firefighters responded to a residential fire alarm in the Silverwood Heights neighbourhood.

When crews arrived at 206 Benesh Place, they saw smoke through windows and broke open a door to get inside.

They were able to quickly get a fire in the basement out.

Four dogs, a cat and a parrot were found in the basement.

Firefighters used oxygen to revive the dogs, but the cat and parrot died.
