As shown in footage captured by CFD personnel, a cat suddenly appeared through a broken window as smoke billowed from the fiery structure. The brave feline briefly touched the building with its front paws and then leapt.
Onlookers gasped as the cat fell. But it missed a wall as it hurtled downward and instead landed on all four paws atop grass, where it bounced once and immediately ran away.
The cat s owner says Hennessy lived inside and didn t go outdoors, a CFD spokesman said.
No injuries were reported after the fire, which was confined to one apartment. The cause of the fire hasn t been reported by officials, nor how much damage resulted.
