BANGKOK: A firefighter cautiously climbed a charred pole to rescue a cat that was apparently too scared to do anything amid raging fire in Bangkok’s Thon Buri district on Monday. The fire occurred early Monday, burning down 20 wooden houses in a community along a railway line and killing a 65-year-old woman. By the time, 20 fire trucks arrived on the scenes, so many wooden house were gone. Although the sky was still dark, a fireman noticed a black cat on a charred pole. He then spent more than five minutes climbing up the pole and trying to bring the feline down.
