In situations like that, you don't know if it's a rat, or what kind of animal could be inside. Firemen found five kittens, we first heard it was six, but five living there.

They were transported, by ambulance of course, to the Tri-Cities Animal Services location, where they were examined and given names.  Animal officials say they'll be ready for adoption in about five weeks.
