A house fire in the Mystic Island section of Little Egg Harbor Township on Friday, Feb. 28, saw the rescue of one woman and 13 cats. Firefighters assisted the homeowner, who was complaining of shortness of breath from smoke inhalation and Great Bay Regional EMS took her to Southern Ocean Medical Center.
