Firefighters trying to put out a huge fire at an apartment in the southeastern Idaho town were amazed to see a live rat huddled in a charred cage, the AHN website reported.
After being rescued, Halo the rat received oxygen with a special cone-shaped animal resuscitation mask.
Halo was not the only lucky one rescued from blaze. Firefighters also rescued four of five cats in the apartment.
No one was home at the time of the fire, which officials blamed on an electrical fault.
