A mouthy parrot put her vocal skills to incredible use late last week when her cries of "help" and "fire" brought emergency crews into a burning home in a Boise, Idaho, suburb.

According to a story from NBC News, crews from the Middleton (Idaho) Fire Department responded to reports of a house fire, but could not find the elderly lady who lives at the home.

Crews were doing a walk-around in the home after the fire was extinguished, when they heard cries of "help, fire." According to the department's Facebook page, they used thermal imagery technology to search for anyone in the home. While they didn't find a person, they did manage to locate two parrots.

"Once the captain did his walk-around, he could hear something or someone inside yelling, 'help, fire, help, fire,'" according to Victor Islas, a community relations officer for the department.

Crews went into "rescue mode" Islas said, and called for backup.

The birds were taken from the home and given oxygen, according to a CNN story. They appeared to be ok, with the more vocal bird recovering quickly before she began to imitate the sirens of emergency vehicles at the scene, according to emergency crews.
