Lance the Pug, rescued by Engineer Brendan Finnemore

As Firefighters were battling the fire, a sudden and loud explosion ripped through the building and injured a single firefighter, he had sustained minor injuries and is expected to make a recovery. Furthermore, during firefighting efforts, a dog, specifically a Pug, was spotted by Engineer Finnemore and thanks to his quick reactions, the dog was rescued from the scene and was taken away from danger. The pug was given a temporary name of 'Lance' and was taken to Station Four in Sandy Shores, a day later an elderly woman arrived to reclaim her lost four-legged companion.

 

The Department and the State Fire Marshals will be conducting a clean-up operation on the 5th of August, then the scene can be formally handed to the State Fire Marshals to investigate the cause of the blaze.
