No shaggy dog story: ‘Little fighter’ puppy saved from burning Limerick house by firefighters

It was a first for a fire brigade crew who’ve been involved in nearly every type of rescue imaginable.

The “White Watch” crew from Limerick City Fire Brigade expected the worst when they were told people might be trapped in a blaze at a two-storey house in the Prospect area.

Fireman Paul Greensmith said that when the crew arrived, the fire “was fully alight and black smoke was pouring from the house”.
