WHITE CITY, Ore. -- Nine small puppies and their mother are safe from danger after firefighters rescued them from a fire in Jackson County, Oregon.

Jackson County Fire District 3 posted a video of the pups on their Facebook page Tuesday morning, according to KPTV.



Crews said they responded to a fire in Central Point that displaced a family. While fighting the fire, crews also found a new litter of puppies.
