Longview, Texas -- Longview firefighters rescued a cat Thursday from a house fire in the 1200 block of Bluebird Drive.

The fire, which was contained to one bedroom of the house, threatened Mazing, and firefighters used a pet oxygen mask to help clear its lungs.

“It is looking better. The cat was kind of wheezing when they got it out,” Longview Fire Marshal Johnny Zackary said. “This time it did help to get some oxygen delivered to help the cat recover from the smoke inhalation. Whether it is human or pets, the smoke is a big concern of any fire.”

It’s been a traumatic week for Mazing, which had surgery Wednesday.
