Cambridge woman reunited with cats after massive 10-alarm fire
Count two furry felines among the lives saved after a sprawling 10-alarm fire in Cambridge destroyed multiple homes Saturday.
Lieutenant Brian Casey of the Cambridge Fire Department’s Engine Nine company reunited Cambridge resident Christina Jeffrey with her two cats, 10-year-old brothers named Mac and Cheese, after finding them in the vestiges of a first-floor apartment on Berkshire Street the morning after the blaze. The heartwarming moment was captured on camera and has now captured the hearts of tens of thousands.
Casey had been monitoring any residual fires on Berkshire Street Sunday when he was approached by a resident and her mother asking about two cats that were in an apartment at the time of the blaze.
According to Casey, firefighters entered the home where the cats lived, albeit with little hope.
“We were looking for the cats, but not expecting to find the cats,” Casey said. “Or if we did, not to find them in the greatest of situations.”
