GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — A cat in Grants Pass is on the road to recovery after being rescued from a burning car.
The cat named Sampson suffered burns and smoke inhalation while trapped under the driver’s seat of a car that caught fire Thursday afternoon at an Interstate 5 off-ramp.
Lloyd Lawless of Grants Pass Fire and Rescue says the flames were quickly doused. Firefighters then provided Sampson with first aid and oxygen after equipment was used remove the driver’s seat.
Sampson was later taken to a veterinary clinic, where he was given antibiotics and pain medication to treat his burned paws and abdomen.
