A few days ago, a residential building in Santa Monica was engulfed in flames. In a heroic act, firefighters rushed to the scene to put out the fire. During their search, they stumbled upon an unconscious puppy called Nalu who had stopped breathing. One of the brave firefighters managed to rescue the endearing pup and brought it to a nearby shelter. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Nalu was left alone by its owner, leading to this unfortunate incident.
While surrounded by smoke and extreme heat, Andrew Klein, a firefighter, shared his experience of discovering a motionless body. As soon as he touched the individual, Klein concluded that the person had already died, as he revealed to KABC.
Klein rescued a small puppy by administering CPR to its mouth and nose. He gave the puppy an oxygen mask and monitored its breathing for approximately 20 minutes until it could breathe on its own. When the puppy came to, Klein’s neighbors helped transport it to a local animal hospital for further treatment.
Crystal Lamirande suffered a heartbreaking loss when a fire broke out in her apartment, claiming the life of her cherished pet Nalu, a mixed breed of Bichon Frise and Shih Tzu. Despite her best efforts, Nalu was unable to be rescued from the devastating flames that also destroyed all of Lamirande’s possessions. Nevertheless, the tragedy brought about a glimmer of hope as she formed a strong bond with her local fire department.
Klein revealed to KTLA that the rescue of Nalu was an extraordinary event, especially since he has encountered various animal rescues that didn’t turn out as well. He noted that this particular rescue was one of the most satisfying moments of his career, having been involved in several animal rescues throughout his career.
The department and the team were overjoyed to announce that their efforts paid off as they welcomed back one of their own. The firefighters were able to put out the fire efficiently, taking only ten minutes, and thankfully no one was hurt.
