Fireman adopts rescued kittens
TWO kittens who used up almost all their nine lives when they were rescued from a house fire in Sheffield will have the purrfect Christmas this year... after being adopted by the firefighter who saved them.
Smokey and Joe were among a litter of 10 kittens found by firefighters in a burning house on Staniforth Road, Darnall, in May.
The other eight little cats did not survive the blaze.
The kittens were just five weeks old at the time of the fire, and were taken initially to the RSPCA in Attercliffe where they were cared for until they were eight weeks old.
But firefighter Trevor Bernard, who was the incident commander at the scene of the blaze, said he could not stop thinking about the duo pulled out of the inferno.
And when the cats’ owners decided they did not want them back, he immediately offered to take the pair in himself.

I'm glad he took them both.
