Firefighters had their hands full when a house went up in flames in Sugar Land Friday.

A person inside the house at 1802 Hickory Hill gulped too much smoke and had to be taken to the hospital.

But that was just the beginning.

Firefighters from Sugar Land and Missouri City learned there were several pets in the house so they risked their lives to go in and save them.

Most of the animals were hiding because they were so scared.

Firefighters rescued four dogs, three cats and three kittens.

One cat had to be resuscitated.

Other cats and dogs were given oxygen at the scene.

Along with the firefighters, Fort Bend EMS and the Sugar Land Animal Control Office came to the aid of the frightened pets.

A veterinarian and several staff members from Stafford Oaks Animal Clinic were called to the scene to assist in caring for the animals.

The house was damaged but not destroyed.

I am so glad to know that fire fighters risk their lives to save these animals. I'm sure the person these babies belong to is eternally greatful. I know I would be. God Bless you (fire fighters) for your huge hearts. A speedy recovery to the owner.
