<div><p>There's no doubt that firefighters have the toughest job on earth. They put their lives on the line every day, running into burning buildings to save innocent people. </p><p>As if that wasn't enough, they even save animals who are caught in fires and other dangerous situations. People like to joke about firefighters saving kittens from trees, but the truth is there's nothing sweeter than pictures of animals saved by these fearless heroes. </p><p>Let's hope if our pets are ever in danger, one of these firefighters will be there to save them. But if that does happen, hopefully they look more grateful than this:</p><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2247865418-3.jpg" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><h3></h3><h3>1.
