Multiple residents, pets displaced after apartment fire in Long Beach engulfs units
Crews from the Long Beach Fire Department received several calls around 12:51 a.m. about a fire at an apartment complex.

Multiple animals were removed and rescued from apartment units, including cats, dogs and birds. The fire department said one unit that was impacted had over a dozen pets inside.
After the fire was fully extinguished around 1:10 a.m., firefighters began surveying the area they found two cats and a dog had died. There are no reports of any other injuries.
Three units were displaced from the fire and the American Red Cross will be assisting those residents with housing resources.

Duck-chasing dog saved from water by firefighters
A dog who got into difficulties after chasing a group of ducks into water was rescued by firefighters. Breeze, a seven-year-old springer spaniel, was unable to climb out of the water near Tesson Mill in St Peter, Jersey, on Wednesday. Using a ladder and floatation equipment, a firefighter rescued Breeze after his owner called the emergency services. A Jersey Fire Service spokesperson said: "Crews promptly arrived on scene and were met by Breeze's understandably worried owner, along with a few kind-hearted members of the public who had stopped to offer help." They added that Breeze was back on dry land "after one final lap following the ducks around the water's edge" and was "unharmed and still very much full of energy". "We'd like to remind everyone, if your pet finds themselves in difficulty, please don't put yourself in danger trying to rescue them - call the emergency services," they said.
