LACEY, Wash. — Firefighters were forced to dig through their “pet emergency pocket guides” on Friday when they rescued a family of hamsters from a burning mobile home in Lacey.
Firefighters responded to a structure fire in the 6800 block of Martin Way just before 3 p.m. on Friday. The crews made quick work of the fire, but their day of heroics was just beginning. While battling the fire, firefighters spotted a family of hamsters inside the burning building.
They grabbed the five rodents — later identified as Oreo, Madonna and three unnamed babies — and brought them outside to safety.
