Firefighters from Station 36 had their work cut out for them today when they spent 1.5 hours trying to locate a family cat that had been missing for 3 days in the 1800 block of Thornecrest St. The cat got into the ceiling 3 days ago but, through the use of a thermal imaging camera, Firefighters were able to determine that the cat fell down a shaft and was at the bottom of a wall near the front door. The cat was safely extricated and there will be some minor drywall repairs to be done.🐱🚒

Firefighters quickly contained a fire in an Orléans home this morning and safely rescued a dog from inside the residence. At approximately 09:07, the Ottawa Fire Services Communications Division received a call from a monitoring company reporting an active fire alarm in a two-storey, single-family home in the 200 block of Bevington Walk. The monitoring company advised they had spoken with the homeowner, who was en route to the residence and confirmed, through interior security cameras, that there was an active fire inside the home. Additional 9-1-1 callers driving past the residence also reported flames visible from the home. Firefighters arrived on scene four minutes after being dispatched and confirmed heavy smoke and flames venting from a first-storey bay window at the front of the residence. Crews initiated a fast attack, advancing a hose line to quickly knock down flames that had breached the bay window. Firefighters then made entry through the front door and continued extinguishment efforts while a secondary crew conducted a search of the home. During the search, Firefighters located a dog inside the residence and safely carried the animal outside. The dog was not injured. The fire was declared under control at 09:23, approximately 10 minutes after firefighters arrived on scene, before flames could spread further through the structure. Two complete searches of the home confirmed no occupants were inside. Firefighters opened walls to check for any fire extension, with none found. High-pressure fans were used to ventilate residual smoke from the home. There were no reported injuries. One adult and one child have been displaced as a result of the fire. An Ottawa Fire Services investigator was dispatched to the scene to determine the cause. It was confirmed through interior security camera footage provided by the homeowner that the family dog had grabbed a skiing glove equipped with a lithium-ion battery used for heating. The dog brought the glove onto a couch and began chewing it, damaging the battery. The damaged lithium-ion battery subsequently failed and ignited, causing the fire. ‼️Safety Reminder: Lithium-ion batteries can pose a serious fire risk if they are damaged, punctured, crushed, or improperly handled. Residents are reminded to store items containing lithium-ion batteries safely, keep them out of reach of pets and children, and immediately stop using and properly dispose of any battery or device that shows signs of damage, swelling, overheating, or malfunction. #OttNews
