Thermal Camera Saves Dog From Málaga House Fire

Coín Firefighters Use Thermal Camera to Rescue Dog Coín, Málaga, Spain – In a dramatic rescue operation on June 2nd, 2025, firefighters from the Consorcio Provincial de Bomberos de Málaga used a thermal imaging camera to locate and rescue a dog from a house fire in the Pereila Alta area. The fire, which began in the garage of a home on Finca Jiménez Bonilla, filled the house with smoke, but thankfully, no humans were inside. "We could hear the dog barking, but the smoke made it impossible to see," explained one firefighter. "The thermal camera allowed us to pinpoint the dog's location and get him out safely." The video footage shows the firefighters using the camera to locate the dog, which is clearly visible as a heat signature in the thermal imaging. The dog, seemingly unharmed, is then carefully rescued from the house. The successful rescue is a testament to the firefighters' skill and the effectiveness of the thermal imaging technology. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of having working smoke detectors and planning for pet safety in the event of a fire.
