It was a usual Friday at the Idaho Humane Society in Boise until the fire alarm sounded and a fire truck quickly arrived, KBOI-TV reports.

After it was determined there was no fire, “we started delving into why the alarm had gone off and discovered that the alarm had been triggered in a very unique place… the cat holding room!” staffers wrote on Facebook. “The offender was a female black and white stray cat that was brought in earlier today.”

“This sweet feline had been rolled a bit too close to the fire alarm pull and took advantage of this opportunity to hail for an imminent rescue!” the post said.

“Of course, cats and firefighters have always had a special bond… so she could have been possibly calling for a special someone to bring her home as if she had been stuck in a tree… or perhaps she wanted to bring more attention to her feline friends who are waiting to be adopted into their forever homes.”

The “Sheep Fire,” which is south of Highway 33 and north of Highway 20, was sparked by a lightning strike around 6:30 p.m. Monday, KBOI-TV reported.

By Tuesday the fire had grown to about 85,000 acres and traveled near the Idaho National Laboratory, the state’s nuclear research facility in Idaho Falls, KIVI-TV reported.

“Non-essential employees” were evacuated on Tuesday from several INL site facilities including, Central Facilities Area, Advanced Test Reactor, Naval Reactors Facility, EBR-1, Integrated Waste Treatment Unit, RWMC, AMWTP, and INTEC, according to INL.

Firefighters from INL and the Bureau of Land Management were on the scene to combat the fire, according to the Bureau of Land Management Idaho Fire.

The Naval Reactors Facility, meanwhile, has curtailed operations for its day and swing-shift employees, KIVI-TV reported. Gate 1, INL’s main entrance, is closed to non-emergency traffic, the report said.

Other INL facilities are preparing for the loss of commercial power as they switch to on-site backups, the East Idaho News reported.
