Five family members are dealing with the loss of their home and one of their dogs after an apartment fire in Merced. Firefighters managed to save a second dog with the help of equipment that was recently donated by a local Girl Scouts troop. Video recorded by the Merced City Fire Department shows crews battling the blaze that broke out inside an apartment on 19th near T Street Tuesday morning. Merced Fire Battalion Chief Mickey Brunelli says, "The first engine at scene reported smoke and fire showing from one of the apartments. It was reported that all occupants were out of the building when they got there." As firefighters made their way inside, they discovered a dog suffering from smoke inhalation. They carried him to safety and started working to revive him with the help of a pet oxygen kit recently donated by Girl Scout Troop 3003.
