While no humans where injured in the fire, firefighters located a cat inside the home.
After Moke (pronounced Mo-kee) was rescued, firefighters applied an oxygen mask to the feline until it started showing signs of life some 15 minutes later.
Moke then started looking for a drink. The cat will now be taken to a local vet for further treatment.
