Flame the Arson Cat Rescued by Firefighters, Becomes Beloved Mascot

Firefighters at the Belmont Fire Department in Greenville, South Carolina rescued a stray cat two years ago and the kitty ended up changing their lives for the better.

Now named Flame the Arson Cat, the cat was found outside their station, so they took him in. He quickly became a part of the family...and an Instagram celebrity!

Firefighter Jordan Lide told ABC News that Flame is "always there when you need him to provide that mental break." Lide explained when he found the cat, "he was really skinny and malnourished. I think he was scared and timid but kind of desperate at the same time."
