MILLVILLE, N.J. (CBS) -- A rescue dog is making history in New Jersey. Meet Hansel.

Hansel is finishing 15 weeks of training, but in just about a week, he will start working with the Millville Fire Department. He will perform critical tasks in the aftermath of fires.
Hansel's first day on the job is Jan. 19.
