No one was injured? His furry extended family died.

I’d put all involved on unpaid leave and talk to the DA. There’s how many personnel involved to get a cat out of a drain, but this guy can’t go in to try to save his pets? Unreal

PETA should raise hell.

You have to understand the rules firefighters operate under. Since I became a volunteer, it’s been drilled into our heads over and over again that we have a duty to ourselves first, to others second. It gives me no pleasure to say this, but pets seem to be low on the list.

And a cat stuck in a drain is different because there is little to no danger involved for the firefighters. Had that man gone back in, not only would he have probably not been able to save his pets, but he would have been forcing the firefighters to put their own lives in jeopardy to save his.
