Dalmatian who survived apartment fire reunited with firefighter who saved her life

WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — DC Fire and EMS shared a heartwarming video on Twitter with Cinder the Dalmatian, her owner and the firefighter who saved Cinder’s life.

The video showed Cinder and her owner reuniting with Firefighter George Martin, who saved her life after a fire broke out at an apartment in Northwest D.C. almost two weeks ago.

On May 20, DC Fire and EMS said they responded to the 4500 block of McArthur Boulevard for the report of a building fire.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found a third-floor apartment on fire. The owner of the apartment got three Dalmations out of the apartment.

Two of them died at the scene, but the firefighter helped give aid to the third dog, Cinder. Firefighters rushed Cinder to an emergency veterinary hospital.

Cinder spent some time at the hospital receiving treatment but has since recovered.
