Firefighters in Pouso Alegre, Minas Gerais, successfully rescued a dog from a large fire that broke out at an automotive materials depot located along BR-459. The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday, leading to significant flames and smoke that filled the area. A video captured the dramatic moment when a firefighter emerged from the building cradling the distressed animal, illustrating the dangers faced during such emergencies.

Upon receiving the distress call at 3h31 AM, the fire department quickly mobilized to the scene. By the time the firefighters arrived, the fire had already spread extensively throughout the structure. The owner of the depot informed the firefighters that the dog was trapped inside, prompting the team to develop a safe strategy to reach and rescue the animal while combating the fire.

The rescue operation involved careful planning by the firefighters, who established a route to access the inside of the building while controlling the flames and lowering temperatures in critical areas. They also made openings in the roof to ventilate the premises, which aided in managing the fire more effectively. Their efforts not only saved the property but also highlighted the risks first responders are willing to face to protect both lives and animals in emergency situations.
