When the fire broke out, area residents feared for their own lives. The flames engulfed the property and it threatened to set other nearby residences on fire.Lulu, who probably worked as a security dog for the property, was trapped inside the complex. A metal privacy fence surrounded the building and all exits were locked with metal chains.Locals feared jumping the fence and putting their own lives at risk. Not only were they scared of getting trapped in the fire, but they also feared Lulu would attack or become aggressive towards anyone trying to save her.

The metal chains were cut and an officer rushed into the complex to retrieve Lulu.The dog tried to run to safety and sought refuge on the furthest point along the fence far away from the flames. The pet was petrified and instead of becoming aggressive towards the officer, she welcomed the rescuer who pulled her to safety.
