| I saw less than you did Judy; I only caught that the firemen had
adopted them and one was called Smudge and the other Blaze.
Although I usually skip over stories that involve animals, I get too
upset, I would be interested in finding out the whole story before
summer reruns.

| I caught the whole thing.....it was filmed by a news cameraman....
A trailer home caught on fire, and the fire department
had put it out. They checked the place out to see if
any humans were inside, and one of the firemen could hear
kittens crying. Out of the litter, 1 kitten was in bad
shape. The fireman started CPR on the kitten, trying to
save it. Another fireman joined in by using the oxygen
on the kitten, while the CPR was being done. After about
15-20 mins of working on the kitten, a spark of life showed
when the kitten moved it's legs. They continued CPR, and
were able to bring the kitten back!
The fireman adopted this kitten, naming him "Smudge". Smudge
means in fireman lingo "a small fire". One of the other firemen
who helped adopted another kitten from the litter, and named it
"Blaze". (I think there were 4 kittens in the litter)

| 525.4 | Very heartwarming! | STUDIO::COLAIANNI | I think, therefore I think I am | Mon Mar 29 1993 12:30 | 8 |
| I watched this program, and I wanted to hug that fireman! What a guy! I
was in tears by the end of that segment! ;-) It didn't surprise me when
they said he had adopted little "Smudge" though. It would have
surprised me if he DIDN'T! ;-)
Great story! Glad that camera man got it on film!

| 525.5 | A similar incident happened on our street.. | ISLNDS::FALLON | | Mon Mar 29 1993 13:27 | 6 |
| You don't know where that happened do you? I live in a trailer park
that had a fire in it last year. The woman who lived there had several
cats ( I think she actually bred bengals or occicats). I heard that
she was so upset about losing some of her animals that she had to be
hospitalzed for her own protection. I guess she is doing fine now.

| 525.6 | Not Massachusetts I don't think... ;-) | STUDIO::COLAIANNI | I think, therefore I think I am | Mon Mar 29 1993 13:47 | 9 |
| I don't remember where the incident happened, but none of the players
had Massachusetts accents! ;-) The kittens looked like DSH tabbies. The
little guy who got CPR performed on him was a real cutie, as were his
siblings. They had no idea what was hapening to them, and they just
huddled together. I don't know where mom cat was, they never mentioned
her, but the kittens looked too young to be weaned yet, so I assume she
was all right. (hopefully she's now spade though)

| 525.7 | Nice ending to a fire story | VIA::COLBURN | | Mon Mar 29 1993 15:45 | 18 |
| Thanks. Nice story, I saw the last part of it too. Glad to hear
the whole story.
Glad to hear what the name Smudge means...my youngest kitty's
named Smudge and she sure is a "Little fire...a little
firecracker that is!" We called her Smudge (or Smudgie once
in a while too) because she's the color of a smudged finger
print. She's blue (grey) with gold colored eyes.
What a doll she's turned out to be.
Glad there was a happy ending to the fire story. Wonder what ever
happened to Mommy cat?

| I think I remember reading this in the paper some time ago..don't
recall where it was, but lack of an accent doesn't mean it wasn't
MASS. Once you get past Worcester (going west), pronunciation returns
to normal. ;^)
