Earlier this week, a vehicle caught on fire while driving down a wooded stretch of Interstate 91 in Massachusetts, just outside the city of Springfield. Firefighters from the\u00a0West Springfield Fire Department<\/a>\u00a0were quick to the scene to extinguish the blaze, which caused non-life-threatening injuries to the driver and occupant.<\/p>\n

But what began as a near-tragedy would soon wind up being hailed as a miracle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After the flames were extinguished, fire crews began the work of cleaning up. Fuel that had leaked from the burning car needed to be prevented from entering nearby storm drains, and a check was performed to make sure none were already contaminated.<\/p>\n

Little did the crew know they\u2019d find something else entirely in the process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

While examining one storm drain, a firefighter spotted two desperate eyes staring back up at him.<\/p>\n

There, trapped at the bottom of the uncapped drain, was a frightened dog.<\/p>\n

She had no involvement in the car fire that had brought the firefighters to the scene \u2014 but she was in serious need of their help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
