Story summary

In Massachusetts, firefighters rescued a 13-year-old gray tabby cat named Naz from a five-alarm fire in a three-story mixed-use building in Teele Square, Somerville. The fire broke out around 5:00 pm on Wednesday while the cat's owner, Warren Thanes, was at work. Although everyone evacuated safely, Naz was trapped inside an apartment, hidden in a dark cupboard. As flames were not visible but smoke filled the building, Thanes requested firefighters to save his pet upon returning home and seeing fire trucks outside. The heroic crew battled the blaze throughout the evening and successfully reunited Naz with its tearful owner.
