VANCOUVER Firefighters managed to rescue a seven-month-old black Labrador that was found unconscious inside a burning home in South Vancouver over the long weekend. Asst. Chief Kenny Gemmill of Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services said crews responded to reports of flames coming from a property on East 60th Avenue near Ross Street early Saturday evening. Gemmill said firefighters quickly entered the home and extinguished the blaze, and as the smoke cleared they found the young dog unconscious with burns on his leg. Video posted to social media shows crews rushing to put an oxygen mask on the dog s snout, then petting his back as the animal lies motionless on the front lawn.

A level 1 heat response, which has been put into effect due to the warning from Environment Canada, includes activating cooling centres, monitoring outdoor spaces for people suffering from heat-related illness, wellness checks for tenants in non-market housing, and providing bottled water and fans.
The level 1 response also calls for providing safety information for community partners and SROs.
“We are prepared to throw all our resources at this if we get the same difficulties we did in June,” said Mayor Stewart during the meeting.
A level 2 heat response would be issued by the city if an extreme heat alert is issued by Vancouver Coastal Health, which could come later this week.
