Dog Rescued From Debris Days After Tornado
http://www.local6.com/news/10934974/detail.html
Deland, Fla. -- A dog is OK after being pulled from the debris of a historic Volusia County home two days after the house was destroyed by a tornado, according to search-and-rescue officials. A team of law enforcement officials from the Holly Hill Police Department, Seminole County Sheriff's Office and Volusia County Sheriff's Office were investigating The Alexander House, a historic home that is more than 100 years old, on West Howry Avenue in DeLand, on Sunday when neighbors told them that everyone got out safely except the family dog. While surveying the two-day-old damage of the two-story house, rescuers said they heard a faint "arf" coming from the debris. The team said they created a 4-foot crawl space by bending beams, pulling back pieces of tin roof and removing exposed, jagged nails. One of the rescuers entered the debris and found Fred, a Jack Russell terrier, in a crumpled kennel. "We weren't leaving until the dog came out," Seminole County Sheriff's Deputy Mike Cannaday said. "Neighbors said (Fred) was a timid and quiet dog, but the closer we got to him, the more he would whimper. The kennel had nearly collapsed all around him, but luckily he was isolated in a pocket and unharmed." Fred is safe and sound and being cared for by neighbors, according to officials. On Sept. 7, 1995, The Alexander Haynes House was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. |
