If you listen closely, you can hear the guy’s voice quiver as he talks about his job, but later when he talks about Flame his voice is more collected. That cat is as lucky to have them as they are to have him.

Excellent award! Tugs at heart strings, that men are fond of this wonderful mascot of hope and love, as well, helping communities to learn about fire safety.

This cat may be a reincarnation of a fireman

[@misfitwitch]

Absolutely, he was a firefighter in a past life.

Jordan is so handsome

[@patriciagriswold6060]

Are you sure he's not deaf? I have a deaf cat and it took me awhile to realize that she was deaf and not ignoring me😄

[@kllie5674]

Patricia Griswold then how come flame knows to get out of the way when the siren/truck noises starts?

[@Stephen-iw1vs]

Its lit🔥🔥

Autumn Moon Deaf cats react to vibrations which they feel rather than actual hear.

[@sasikumarck5636]

Cute cat

[@TheSahand68]

Are you putting Flame in his house when emergency is going on...I hope so...because one could easily forget where the kitty is and he could be napping bellow the vehicle....which could be dangerous because he could be runned over....

[@aim-to-misbehave5674]

They address this on their Instagram when people ask - the moment the trucks or sirens or whatever starts, Flame gets out of the way and sits off to one side and stays calm the whole time.

[@deanbogardus2850]

Lol its too hard to hit a cat. They're not dogs

[@Mimi2Y2BYAZPHIL]

Runned over?!😁😅

[@gauthier1129]

I want Jordan!!!!!!!now
