A firefighter cautiously climbed a charred pole to rescue a cat that was apparently too scared to do anything amid raging fire in Bangkok’s Thon Buri district on Monday.

 

The fire occurred early Monday, burning down 20 wooden houses in a community along a railway line and killing a 65-year-old woman.

 

By the time, 20 fire trucks arrived on the scenes, so many wooden house were gone. Firemen then sprayed water to control the blaze and save as many lives as they could. 

 

Although the sky was still dark, a fireman noticed a black cat on a charred pole. 

 

He then spent more than five minutes climbing up the pole and trying to bring the feline down. 

 

The cat remained shaken even if it was rescued from the fire site. But it remains alive and uninjured.

Nice story , good guy in my books.  But then I like cats even old ones that scale a wall and get stuck.

I like cat's but some in the neighborhood get on my  over hang and have a dump. Sinks to no heaven. I may have to take drastic mesures.
