Thankfully, everyone got out safely, including the family cat.
It's call out Austin Police Department officers, Brent Gray, Anna Aguilar, and Sergeant Robert Gilbert.
Great work.
Okay, next up, we're in Baytown, Texas, outside of Houston.
It's March 2019, and Harris County Sheriff's Deputy Roberto Martinez responded to a fire at a trailer home in the middle of the night.
A 63-year-old woman was trapped inside.
Ma'am, can you hear me?
Where are you?
There's your furniture right there.
You want me to help you push it?
No, I just need to get in.

Anybody else?
Okay, let's get to the front.
So the deputy managed to run with the woman and his heavy gear.
I believe it was about 30 pounds to an area that was clear of danger before he ultimately collapsed.
I got it.

I got you.
Let me leave, I don't, leave, I leave, leave it, leave it.
Just amazing.

breaks through the window, moves the drawers, gets the woman.
Deputy Martinez and the woman were treated for smoke inhalation.
Just an incredible, incredible story.
Well, deputies rushed toward danger in Hillsborough County, Florida back in 2022
when they realized a nine-year-old boy was still inside the burning home.
Heavy smoke made finding the boy through a broken window nearly impossible.
Who else is inside the house?
There's a kid.
Where's he at in the house?
Owen!
Where's he at?
In this bedroom!
Owen!
Oh, Father John, please!
Where did you just break that window with?
Right here.
Owen!
Watch your face.
Owens!
Oh!

Right here, baby!
Come out.
Right here, baby!

Where is he sleep in there?
Where does he sleep in there?
Right here!
Where is his...
Where is his...
Where he is, grab, because I don't know where his bed is in here.
Owen!
Come to the window, baby!
Grab my hand!
Owen this right!
Come over to the light!
Come over to the light, Owen!
Come over to the light, stick your hands out!
What's the way, Owen!
Walk this way, Owen!
Hey, stick your hand down to where you see the light.
Walk this way, baby.
Hey, come over here.
Where are you at?
Come on, baby.
You right there.
That camera, I got your team, don't.
Right there.
There's a camera, right there, right there.
There's a child.
I can't see where it is going to do.
Hey, Mike, come to this light, bud.
Come on this light, bud.
Buddy, come to the light.
I can't see what's in there.
Buddy, I need you to come to the light, man.
Okay, so the deputy is having no luck finding the nine-year-old in the dark smoke.
He starts to choke, and he tries to find another way into the home before returning to the front window.
Hey, is there another way to get to that bedroom that's not on fire?
Man.
I got that hand on.
You're a .
Parson with them.
Hey, whose house is it?
It's not.
All right, guide you to that room.
Go up.
You'll see it.
Go up.
Yeah.
I'll have to go, I'd go.
I'd go.
It's a baby in there.
I'm going the other way.
What's his name?
Right here, right here.
Come here, get up, buddy.
Where's he at?
Right here.
Come here.
Reach out to us. Keep coming.
Come on, come here.
Give your hand.
Give me your hand.
Give me your hand.

Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Where's the homeowner?
Nobody else is in there.
Hey, we just got that child out.
If you guys have oxygen, please.
Yeah, he was in there.
Yeah, he's breathing.
By the way, you may have noticed that there is a man with a large camera following the deputies.
That's because this rescue was actually.
featured on an episode of cops.
Yeah.
Now, the boy, he was badly burned.
He was taken for treatment.
Fire crews say that the blaze started in the garage, spread to the home.
But once the boy was out, they were able to get it quickly under control.

The apartment next door, he was on fire, so we got to hurry.
Yes, sir.
This one.
So law enforcement, they go through the building,
they make sure everyone had evacuated,
breaking down doors when necessary.
It was around 10 p.m.,
and I guess it's possible to sleep through that blaring alarm.
So the police wanted to make absolutely sure.
sure everybody was safe.
Walkets up, police.
Everyone got out safely, but the fire, which seems to have started in one of the apartments,
caused around $40,000 worth of damage.
Well, deputies in Port Ritchie, Florida, they were able to save a bedridden woman as a fire started
in her room. It's January 2019, the Pascoe County deputies responded and found a 74-year-old woman inside
who said her 97-year-old mother was confined to her bed.
We woke up this week. I just woke up and everything was just cool. All right, ma'am, I need you to get
outside. No, my mother's here. Okay. Okay. I know ma'am. Get outside. Outside. I will get

Now, no word on how the SUV actually caught fire, but a neighborhood veterinarian
checked in on Hank after the incident and found that the dog luckily didn't have any serious injuries from either of the
fire or the smoke. Officers in Tampa, Florida, responded to a smoke alarm going off in an elderly
man's home back in March of 2024, and they realized they would need to use a pry bar to get inside.
They found the man on the floor of his kitchen overcome by the smoke.
Which one is it?
What I told him, what is going?
We're in the house on the floor.
How are we have an hour with it?
Okay, four, it's three zero, six.
Chip go.
Hey, I have it open.
A halogen?
I have a halogen.
Which out?
Yeah, it's full of smoke.
Yeah, it's full of smoke.
Nope, move.
Come in the house.
Here.
Yep, okay.
Yep.
Good.
Oh.
You got the excuse.
Get up the list.
Get up the list.
Get up the list.

Three, three.

Oh,
you know.
Look at them.
Look at you.
Watch out.
Watch out.
No, work down.
From 21st,
just for 14th.
Is there anyone else in there?
Is there anybody else in your house?
No one else?
Good job, guys.
Turn the stove.
The stove is on.
The 81-year-old man told first responders
he'd just been cooking chicken,
stepped away for a moment.
When he came back, the stove was on fire.
He was taken to a hospital,
but he's expected to recover.
Now, sometimes the people who need safety,
They're just out of reach.
But that didn't stop this deputy in Orlando, Florida.
No, take a look at this body cam video.
It's at an angle because the deputy took off his heavy vest, left it on the ground.
But you can see the deputy scaling the burning building to try to get to a one-year-old on the third floor.
She's one?
Can you?
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
I'm coming.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, look.
Hold on.
Hold on.
We're coming.
Hand me your baby.
Hey, can you go?
Let me go.
You don't let me.
No, no.
No, no.
Let's step.
You go on the ladder.
Do you reach down?
Stop!
Let's go.
No, no.
Let me.
Leave, leave, leave, leave.
Let go.
Go on me.
Go on me.
You need a bigger ladder
It's just incredible
The deputy was able to grab onto the child
And the mother and grandmother
They were all rescued with a ladder
Just incredible, incredible work right there
Unbelievable to see
