It s easy to forget everything local fire departments do for the public, but they re not just here to rescue people when there s a fire. They also rescue animals.On Friday, crews rescued nearly a dozen animals from a house in Oklahoma City. We were dispatched on a structure fire, residential house fire that possible people (were) trapped inside, said Maj. Lance Hansen, with the Oklahoma City Fire Department.But when crews got there, it wasn t people trapped inside, but pets. All in all, it was about eight to 10 animals in there, Hansen said.Fire crews think the owner tried to go back into the house to save the animals before fire officials arrived. Had some smoke inhalation, but she has gone to the hospital and is doing fine, Hansen said.Due to the wind, crews had to work fast to get the animals out. The wind was pushing through the house, so we made a secondary attack on the south side, Hansen said.Thanks to that attack, all the dogs and cats will be just fine. Everything,
