Cat saved from cruel death A PASSING CFA volunteer saved a cat from its burning Frankston South house last week. The volunteer was on his way to a funeral when he noticed the blaze in the renovated brick veneer in Frankston-Flinders Rd, 1pm, Wednesday 31 May. Stopping to assist he noticed the cat pawing at a window. He picked up a rock and smashed the glass allowing the cat to escape. He then called in the emergency. Unfortunately, another cat caught inside died in the fire. About 20 firefighters from Frankston, Baxter and Langwarrin CFA brigades were onsite within
10 minutes and fought the blaze for several hours. Frankston CFA senior station officer Andrew McCartney said a low roof made extinguishing the seat of the blaze difficult and the house suffered extensive smoke and water damage. Officer McCartney said when the distraught owner arrived home he could only watch on as firefighters did their best to save his house. He said an electrical fault in a computer room may have caused the blaze. The lucky cat was taken to Frankston Heights Veterinary Clinic and given a clean bill of health.
