An Orange County Fire Authority team discovered themselves in a precarious area while performing an extremely fragile search and rescue objective in Buena Park.
“The doorbell called and the lady at the door said, ‘Hey I believe there’s a cat stuck in my car,'” said Scott Lake, an OCFA fire device engineer. “We all type of like offered her that puzzled appearance.”
Lake and the others on responsibility at Station 61 recently had the lady drive her SUV into among the truck bays for a more detailed look. Sure enough, a small gray kitten had actually wedged itself under the car near the fuel tank. It had actually been on a long, hot trip.

“I’ve never ever saved a cat out of a tree today I can state I’ve pulled a cat out from below a car,” said Division Chief Steve Dohman.
The lady driving the car said rode in the SUV’s undercarriage while it was travelling down the I-405 Freeway and after that concealed under there for hours as she and her family went to a museum.
When she returned to Buena Park she heard meowing and went directly to Station 61.
There, firemens got to work, raising the car up, getting rid of the plastic pieces in the undercarriage and following the noises up until they discovered the kitten’s little face glancing through.
Since being rescued, the kitten, Smokey, has actually been embraced by the chief’s secretary.
“For that cat to be because car for that quantity of time and to be that young to make it all the method, to keep up because car all day and make it through below,” said Lake. “To make it all the method to the station house… and to be embraced by on of our own here at the station house is excellent.”
