Puppy rescued from a burning house becomes firefighter

Newsday

Available for over a year

Jake was adopted by his rescuer and now 'works' alongside him at his fire department. William Lindler, a fire-fighter from South Carolina in the United States, says the puppy "survived for 10 minutes in a burning building that most humans would have perished in". So the firefighters decided Jake was already one of them and made him "a member of the fire department just like anybody else". Listen to find out what Jake's duties are.
