From Firehouse: Using CPR and oxygen, firefighters worked for about 30 minutes Thursday to revive a dog they rescued from a burning house in east Fort Worth.

The fire started about 1:30 p.m. in a single-story house at the intersection of South Beach Street and East Vickery Boulevard.
Firefighters with a ladder truck were already in the neighborhood when they saw smoke, said Engineer Tim Hardeman, fire department spokesman.
"The driver said he noticed a haze, and they drove right up to it," Hardeman said....
A neighbor told firefighters that an elderly man lived in the home with two dogs.
The man was not inside, but firefighters found two large dogs, Hardeman said.
"One was OK," he said, "but the other was unresponsive."
Firefighters got busy giving the dog CPR and oxygen from a special animal mask.
The dog was revived, Hardeman said, but firefighters urged the owner to take it to a veterinarian. Dogs that inhale smoke can later develop fluid in their lungs, which can be fatal.... http://www.firehouse.com/news/10848524/texas-firefighters-revive-dog-with-cpr-o2
It used to be, when there was a animal that was down at a fire scene, the firefighters would throw the body away. 
But now, many fire departments are attempting to save animals by giving oxygen and sometimes, CPR.
Pretty soon, we may see animal ambulances, running red lights and siren, going to animal rescue calls.
