@CharlotteFD & our crew of Paramedic Kennedy & EMT Pegg saved this cute puppy from a house fire. We do not know the dogs name since the owner was not around. Our crews decided to call her Caliente or Callie for short. She is now in the caring hands of @animalscmpd #PetVets #EMS pic.twitter.com/tb6gVxZi80
