Two people were injured in a fire at a DeKalb County apartment complex Tuesday afternoon, Channel 2 Action News reported.

“This little squirrel was so thrilled to be rescued from the apartment fire, he even allowed the DeKalb County Firefighters to give him a bath,” the fire department wrote in a tweet.
