Around 22:42 on July 3rd, 2022 South Metro Fire Rescue responded to the 8900 block of Kittiwake St. Engine 17 arrived to a three car garage that was fully engulfed and deployed a hose line and quickly controlled the fire with Medic 17, preventing it from extending into the living space. During searches inside the smoke-filled home, Firefighters rescued the frightened cat and treated it with oxygen. The garage and many personal items were destroyed in the fire. Smoke alarms and an odor of smoke alerted the residents who discovered the trash bin in flames and rapidly spreading. Thankfully the residents safely evacuated without injuries and called 911, but a cat was still unaccounted for. Additional information provided by South Metro Fire Rescue
