Several Garrett County Fire Departments responded to a structure fire on Underwood Road west of Oakland Sunday.
Although damage was minimal, one notable part of the response is that firemen found an unresponsive cat during the initial pass through, then used aparatus to revive the cat.
Here is the note from the Maryland State Fire Marshal's office.
