FDNY firefighters rescue, revive cat from 4-alarm fire

NEW YORK — One down — eight to go.

Firefighters yesterday brought an apparently dead Brooklyn cat back to life after hooking it up to an oxygen mask.

The smoke-eaters pulled the tabby from 925 Dumont Ave. during a four-alarm fire in front of its owner — a weeping 4-year-old girl.

When firefighter Pat Foresta picked up the pussycat, it shook, so he and his comrades rushed it to a vet, who ordered the oxygen.
