The department used heat-seeking technology to detect where the animal was located in the wall.

“The guys did the whole creeping around the house thing,” deputy fire chief Timothy Heiser told ABC News. “They got a thermal imaging camera ... and knocking and going along the wall, they managed to find where the cat was."
