New Haven, Michigan - On June 25, 2020, one of Macomb County Sheriff's Office deputy was on patrol and noticed an apartment with smoke coming out of it. A man and three small children were standing outside and stated there was another woman and two additional children inside. Deputies entered several times to extinguish the flames but could not make it up to the second floor. However, the two deputies continued to extinguish the fire as the flames tried to grow. Several fire departments and EMS units arrived on scene within 14 minutes of the initial call. They were able to rescue the woman and two small children inside. The Sheriff's Office reports that no lives were lost during this fire.

I was a firefighter for 5 years. I've never see a more pathetic group of firefighters in my life. Standing around yelling at one another and struggling to put on gear that should've been on upon arrival of a working fire with trapped victims. In Riverside County California I was on two fires with people trapped in my 5 years, we were inside within 45 seconds of arriving and actively searching for the victims. I'd be embarrassed to say that I work for this fire department. Pure incompetence.
I was yelling at the screen lol. It took soooo long to get o2 on that kid. And then there's no gurney or medic in the ambulance
As a firefighter myself, the first 2 guys off that first arriving truck should’ve been masked up and with a ladder in hand ready to make emergency entry in under a minute. It’s just unreal that the deputies and police officers did most of the work...
I’m a Volley in Long Island these guys make us look bad. I’m on an Engine and we pride ourselves on getting dressed before we step on the rig. I’m talking fully dressed that way we put on the PAC and we’re ready to go. This is a poorly trained company
Firefighters 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Not to mention the pass alarm continuous going off. In Alabama we are beat into out head that that alarm is turned off as soon as it's activated unless I under a mayday situation
This is the most unorganized fire department ever. Slow response. The only one's risking anything was the police
THANK YOU I THOUGHT THE SAME THING AND THE POLICE OFFICER WERE DOING THERE JOB THEY NEVER ENGAGED SO THE OFFICERS DID
Yep I noticed a cop pushing past them with an extinguisher to put the flames out yet again ... while fire dept stood around fiddling with breathing equipment.
Melissa clarke *their
Maybe protesters were blocking their way
You can hear the station leader yelling hurry up and stuff. Sad to see these men and woman spend all this time in training to not use it. Or maybe the training was sub par and thats the issue. Good on the cops for actually trying to do the best they could with what they had.
This response from the fire department is a disgrace to all firefighters. I've never once seen such slow movement in a life and death situation. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.
@Vanessa Rivas other comments said the man at the door didn't live there. He was a special needs neighbor. 🤷♀️
AMEN TO THAT👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I was having an absolute fit & panic attack watching them! They acted as if they were at a leisurely picnic!!! If I were a part of that fire dept I would hang myself ...they need to be down tight ashamed for this!!! What a disgrace💯
But the first 2 policemen........they were TRUE HERO'S 💯👏🏽🏆🤩
@Vanessa Rivas There was a dog in there?????? I pray right now that Jesus gets that dog and the baby out of that home and into a good life please Lord in the name of Jesis get the baby and doggie a better loving home in the name of Jesus🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💞💞💞
@Vanessa Rivas I guess I missed that.
I lost my best friend when I was 12 years old to this stupidity of fireman, his house was on fire across the road from the fire hall, when the fire trucks Departed the fire hall to go to this fire they drove right past his house it took them 45 minutes to figure out that the fire was right across the road from the fire hall
These Police officers are the real heroes of this situation. God bless!
really why? what did they do.. they didn't go into the house and save anyone... people like you throw the hero word around so much it means nothing anymore.
@@ericdraven7185 “What did they do?” There is always “people like you” too, unfortunately.
@@ericdraven7185They tried to take down the flame. They cannot go into the house in flame. If they get stuck, it will just make everything worse. They did their best in this situation.
Idk Jason seemed like he was just getting in the way.
I don’t agree with some of these replies but don’t give only the police the credit when the firefighters were the mvps here
The police officer was more effective than that entire fire department..
The house would have burnt to the ground before the fire department had their equipment on... i cannot believe how slow they were
"The Sheriff's Office reports that no lives were lost during this fire."
That is amazing.
Good news to hear
@@johnspohr501 what you forget is that you have 0 visibility, and you can't breathe. Which means that you might make an attempt but your most likely not going to be able to rescue yourself or them
@@johnspohr501 You would have not come down, I can assure you
@@michaeljohnsonbaugh7962 That's tragic.
@@michaeljohnsonbaugh7962 I'm glad the deputy didn't do that.
I couldn’t believe how leisurely those fireman were acting ?? I was stunned to see them walk about so casually taking time as though they had plenty, did they think the occupants were deceased already so no need to worry ?? The policeman did an excellent job and saved this family !!
How about how leisurely the drugged up father was acting.
@@johnwayne9828he’s a special needs neighbor
@@johnwayne9828 It's called hypoxia. He went into the building and tried to go upstairs several times before the police arrived and clearly had some severe symptoms from that. Notice how he starts to behave more normally and replies to questions quicker and more assertive towards the later portions of the video. This story was covered by my local news station back when it happened.
Anyone else feeling bothered by them blocking the door way everytime he goes inside to try extinguish the fire and come out?
Me
lol me
Plus, the fire extinguisher wasn't doing very much
I mean when it’s someone you really care about that’s trapped inside, you’d also try doing something instead of just standing idly
Yes it is super annoying. Lives ate on the line and they need to be at a safe distance and out of the rescuers way.
Cop to his partner: "You alright?"
The partner: "Is that baby ok?"
Truly a heartwarming response. People who care about others before themselves is one of the biggest qualities a true officer needs to have.
Riko I think you have that backwards
I MUST HAVE MISSED THAT PART.
@@barrymcdougal4816 It's like the very end of the video.
Amen!
@@riko885 I'm a nurse...I care for others before myself
The neighbor telling everyone where to go was the real hero. So brave. Unbelievable they could never have save anyone if he wasn’t keeping the door open. What a real man
@@ericdraven7185 I’m pretty sure he was being sarcastic. Dude was slow and in the way.
I hope your being sarcastic.
You would have to say he did fair considering the whole group that was involved. It was him that was smart enough to point at the window. He wasn't doing a good job with directions.
Thank God it was only a 1 bedroom house.
His perfect communication skills were also so amazingly helpful
I can't even imagine. 2 great responders struggling to keep flams down and you can hear it go to their breathing. Fire fights show up and it's like their urgency was not there. Wow I pray for the family and community.
omg I watched the entire video... I didn't see anyone struggling to keep flames down.. I seen a tiny fire.. that he easily put out with a small squirt.
@@ericdraven7185 you mean the fire that kept igniting and wouldn’t stay extinguished? You mean the fire that he struggled to keep down?
i concur with all these comments very disturbing the lack of urgency hero deputies
Firefighter with the ladder is the real hero, "too much wasting f*cking time"
That department should be ashamed of that response.
Exactly ! That’s why he’s wearing a red hat. That was a terrible hose deployment, entry everything those guys need to train
I agree . To much time wasted on arrival. Idk what the hell they were doing . But that Firefighter made the right call .... stop wasting fu@&ing time . Bottom line everyone will be ok!!!! Thank god
7 minutes later, lol
9:15 "I need an axe lets go!" A ladder and an axe can save a life in the right hands
i love how even the firefighter got pissed that no one brought a ladder in the first place
Yeah everything felt so slow, there seemed to be no sense of urgency. However the Police officers tried their best with what they had
Sounds like there was poor communication between dispatch and fire. Tell them step it the fuck up NOW.
I have more urgency in my call just now to get a picc line in a covid patient. Gotta go!
@@ts440s They are probably on different frequencies so they might have told them still.
“Wasted enough fucking time already.”
Incompetence isn't just a fancy word. -- Funny how everyone wants to show how strong and fast they are in training, but when it's real life, they show up unprepared, dragging their feet, walking in circles. -- Thank God for the Sheriff's Deputies.
I totally agree .
Yes, I was wondering about the firefighters taking a long while puting on helmets and all, instead of starting in the vehicle whith that, and why the peramedics for the child wasn't nearbye... but it is easy for me to say of course.
Absolutely amazing. The first two officers need a medal for saving that baby and the Mother. Respect to you both. Also the EMT's and Firefighters, amazing job all round. All first responders do a phenomenal job. Great respect for you all. I don't live in the US, I live in Australia, no matter where first responders are in the world, they all need medals for bravery. God Bless you all 🙏🙏
@b Yes, the fireman 🤨 They may not have saved anyone in this house but they do it everyday. As I said, ALL first responders need medals for bravery.
@@Skippy03idk man this fire was called in by police and given the details of those trapped inside and this fire department seemed to have gotten lunch before they went. These firemen should be ashamed for there late response.
They are lucky they are alive being that the peanut gallery was eventually on their way to """"save"''' them😮😢
That was absolutely the most atrocious response by the fire department I’ve ever seen. If that’s the response in Australia, then I feel sorry for you guys and I hope you have a plan of your own.
I lost it when the baby opened her eyes.❤😢😢
And people have the balls to say all cops are bad
Saying that doesn’t take balls, it’s cowardice.
Well if people would tell the truth instead of cherry picking people getting killed by police, 99.99 percent of the people saying that might not say that.
@I Drink Legos and not everyone says all cops are racist
Kate M.hunter Most cops aren’t bad. That’s a broad and dangerous generalization to make. By saying this you put police officers lives in danger
@Kate M.hunter Most cops are good. All you see most of the time in the media are the bad ones though.
That’s the worlds slowest fire dept.
Your budget cuts at work.

MAD CZECH OUTDOORS as an ex-fireman for 32 years I have to defend that remark. How far was the closest station? Is it manned by paid firemen or is it a volunteer department? What kind of traffic was enroute, is it quitting time or mid-day? There are many factors that go into the response of a fire company that are not known. I can attest to this in several ways and no matter what there are reasons that are not taken into account in just making a very broad statement as is being made here. Before opening mouth know the facts!! That being said if it hadn’t been for the deputies going in repeatedly to extinguish the flames the difference here could have been much worse. Thanks go to them and the EMT that took charge of the child and put oxygen on that baby!!!
@32Fossil You know how the funds work right? Dispatch gets less money. Meaning slower times. Because system is over worked. Leads to delay of the dispatch knowing who and where to send once they get the call. Fire in some districts are working more then their zone because of cuts. So when dispatched sometimes you are further away. Depends on time of call. rush hour lots of accident calls. I can go on. Seems to me you know a lot about how funding works. Maybe you don't since you never worked in the field. I love overtime. Thank you for creating it for me vs actually having not to pay overtime if you are probably resourced. I was cop and then went became a Firemedic after my last tour in the army. Didn't want to be a cop anymore. Now I am glad I did.
new haven michigan has like 5000 people. these smaller county fire departments have less money and training then big urban ones
This entire scenario stressed me the hell out. The deputies did all of the work. Thank God they were there.
To see the baby laying motionless on the ground was just heartbreaking. And then her eyes opened when the firefighter was holding her. Wow. What a rollercoaster of emotions. Good work in first rescuing and then resuscitating her which was just wonderful. Kudos to all and happy to see that all including Rover got out safely.
That guy in the blue is NOT THE "FATHER" OR THE "BOYFRIEND" OR ANYONE who lives there, he is a special needs neighbor who lives in the attached unit.
Thank you that makes way more sense....Poor dude, that must have been terribly traumatic for him.....
Ok yeh that explains things.. I was wondering how he was so calm and un-reactive as they were pulling out what I thought was his wife and baby.
VITAL INFO!!!
Thank you. that makes so much more sense.
@Olaf The KO King why'd you say that?
Guy almost passed out on the ground, first thing he asks "is the baby okay?". That what a real man does.
That’s what a human does?
@Fmono • 39 years ago • edited its a rhetorical question guys......i know its hard to sense tone through words but come on
Cuz he’s the one who pulled the baby out and thought she was dead
That’s the only thing that’s keeping me from being very mad, that at least someone cares about the baby
@@FootyEd1ts no, he meant a real MAN
I was in a house fire back in May, the firefighters arrived in an incredible 5 minutes, and even in that time the house was ruined, I cant imagine what their house would of been like in 14 minutes, the police in this vid are heroes delaying the fire and entering the house to put it out, there's no hope of breathing when the smoke is that thick, heros
Geez I got all teary eyed when that beautiful little girl opened up her clear eyes and looked around with awareness😭
Sad thing is that you won't be seeing this on the News.
Because I am guessing their is investigation going on. Child endangerment at the least. Questions about so many kids and two adults fire during the day. No one smelled it. No one called fire until officer called it in.
It’s on the local news. Please support your local news.
CNN: Far right white supremacist cop sets fire to house of black family so he can act like a hero saving them. IN TRUMPS AMERICA!
@@iHaveTheDocuments bahahahhahahaha. Thats hilarious!
No but you'll see everything Trump did wrong since he was born. That's all they talk about. That is the sad thing.
As a firefighter, my hat goes off to that police department. They put in some real work and pd should be proud. To the fire department they need to start training better and move with a purpose.
Total true, this whole video should be a learning experience. Everything went wrong, lack of training with FD, hands down to PD for doing everything you did.
‼️Also if you read the description NO ONE CALLED THE POLICE OR FIRE!! A police officer happened to be driving by and SAW THE FLAMES!! That idiot "father" didn't bother to call 911 or to yell for one of the neighbors to call 911!!!!! It was literally so bad the smoke was so thick there were flames on the ceiling and he didn't call 911. And he was acting really high and I really believe he was high on something and the mother probably was too and that's why he didn't call 911. Like wtf??? Even if he didn't have his cell phone on him he should have been yelling to the neighbors to call 911, sent one of the children that did escape to go to the neighbors and tell them to call. Also he didn't even bother to try to get his wife or kids out he just stood at the front door yelling for them every once in awhile. It took a while for the fire to get that bad. I'm just saying there's something really fishy going on with the adults here. The mother couldn't hear the smoke alarms?? Almost like she was too high or passed out already.
As a FF1 , my pickle is tickled by Pd. Their bravery is unmatched and immaculate. One word of advise for Fire, its very advisable that your team moves with justification, only then will they truly know themselves.
I agree! When those 1st firefighters came on scene they acted like they didn't know what to do! I was extremely surprised to see that! It kind of made me angry. They should have known what to do immediately! Thank goodness that baby came out of it like she did. Kudos the the officers for doing their job!
@@WhitneyDahlin he isn't the father bruh
The cop that risked his own life is a HERO in my eyes. The fact that he had no mask, or oxygen & went in the apt. as many times he did, with only a fire extinguisher, literally had me in tears, cuz u can tell he REALLY wanted 2 rescue the woman,& the little girl. I doubt very seriously he, or any1 else, that had a part in the rescue efforts, will see my comment, but jnc som1 do see this, I want 2 say TY, TY, THANK YOU,& GOD BLESS U ALL🙏🏽🤍!!
Is the baby ok? The most satisfying question I've ever heard. Thank you Sr. medal for you.
Who else loves police activity
Love the loyal police, who do their best to save the innocent and the needy.

Hell yes. Because the footage is uncensored and............LivePD is no more, unfortunately.

DOOMJESUS really man? You can’t be happy that she’s alive... you just point out that she’s bigger than an infant...
If that officer hadn't been there to help fight that fire, this would have had a much worse ending.
@@DOOMJESUS ?
DOOMJESUS thats enough meth for you buddy
@@DOOMJESUS Two things. One, WHY ARE YOU TYPING IN ALL CAPS. Second, chances are that fire woulda spread way more, to the rest of the house. You don't need to have magical powers to predict that. Just a brain.

@@DOOMJESUS Caps lock is on the left of the keyboard, just above the shift key
This is the saddest response time I've ever seen. What are these auxiliary police and volunteer firefighters. You're on scene get to work 😳😳😳
as someone who has been in a somewhat similar situation, this is traumatic. i’m so glad that no one was injured. amazing work officers, and firefighters! tysm for keeping them safe. 🙏❤️👍
They're lucky they had super cop on scene. That man was everywhere, doing everything, and calm and collected the entire time.
And even after the firefighters got there, they seemed inept. I hate to say that. God bless those cops!
Good thing we are lowering his paycheck huh?
The policeman seems more worried than the House owner
Mauricio nuñez - yup!! He seems bored or something... can’t even SPEAK CLEARLY so the cop understands him... I guess they’re either not his kids trapped, or he’s got life insurance on them...
HE COULDNT EVEN BE SURE WHO WAS UP THERE!!!! He said 2 kids but didn’t seem sure, then it turns out there’s an ADULT UP THERE TOO!!!
LOL this dude must’ve fell HARD from the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down... this is MIND BLOWING.
@@flojotube9323 that and he's high as hell. He's looking for a damn shoe.
If I were to give him the benefit of the doubt I'd say he might be suffering from hypoxia due to smoke inhalation; hypoxia really messes with one's ability to think straight. He first answered that there were 2 kids in the house, though he was slurring heavily, but later on he did say that there were '2 kids and their mama'. He almost seemed to become more coherent as time passed which points to possible hypoxia.
That said, he could have been drunk for all I know.
@@Llethander He could also be disabled, have some mental challenges. We just don't know, and if we're gonna guess, it's good to consider all possibilities.
Thats because the police officers taxes paid for that place....the guy probably didn't even pay for the crack...
If this was my family and child, or even not my family. I would not be standing outside.
that was the neighbour
It’s easy to say that until you’ve felt the heat of a burning house fire. I’d like to say I’d run in there grabbing everyone as well, but it’s quite literally the same as standing inside of a 400 degree oven while being pepper sprayed. Granted I certainly would’ve tried and definitely would’ve found a ladder, but there is a 0% chance you’d make it up those stairs without a SCBA. You’d only make it worse.
@@LiteralIyRyanGosling and the neighbor in the blue is special needs
Those officers saved lives, they need the city's highest medals
the legend says that those firefighters are still standing there outside and putting their gear on
Yeah, IKR. They're acting very slowly. Like veeery slowly. With almost everything. The PD did a way better job in comparison. Although running into the smoke without a mask on is rarely a good idea.
Every department is different. I’ve seen some suite up, mask and all on the ride over. I’ve also seen guys grab a hose the first thing on egressing the truck.
Slowest, laziest firefighters I've ever seen.
Yeah and what the heck would you do? It's so pathetic that people post but when you are in that situation people would be saying different. My high regards to all law enforcement team!
@@chicado4184 there is no excuse for being slow... did they have a cramp or something? stupid to even defend them for being lack luster. what would i do? come with my gear on fast already and already be in there
Where is the media on this? Oh I know these head lines won't get them any clicks.
I think we could change this though. Maybe show a lot of joy seeing any positive headlines they cover, and they may show more if their views like seeing it. From there hopefully a domino effect
@@JACXOUB You know, thats the most solid defense I've heard for this line of thinking. I'm just worried it might be a way of pulling attention from the very real problems were seeing with bad police work. Thanks for your thoughts.
They will get more clicks, just not from the people they want. It doesn't fit their narrative.
@@JACXOUB The media doesn't want 'joy,' they want rage, mistrust, and racial animosity. And they've successfully brainwashed millions into just that.
Sad thing is I bet it would
This town is very fortunate to have police officers with the sense of integrity these men had!
Great job!
That was a close call with the baby! Thank Goodness she was ok…. Everyone worked to hard save EVERYBODY!
No not everbody..The only ones working hard and fast were to first 2 cops. Other than that the fire dept should be ashamed!!!!!!!!
I probably wouldve died cause theres no way in hell i could stand outside when my wife amd kids were inside!!!
Yeah- my husband neither
"Wife"
Hmm let's make it three for the fire department and sheriff's department to rescue
He was so wasted he could hardly talk let alone realize what was going on.
What a useless husband and human
Never seen a guy standing outside his house on fire with wife and kids in house... tells cops twice not to go in, stands in the way, and laters stands outside with hands in pockets! Not trying to console the kids, just observing. Shock maybe, but I've been to a few fires (industrial cert ff), and never seen that type of behavior.
The cop couldn't understand what he was saying ... he mumbled and was incoherent
Could it have been from smoke inhalation? Seems like if he had spent enough time in the smoke, he'd be pretty fatigued/dazed
@@SGTRhonin that guy was either drunk or on drugs or maybe both.
@@SGTRhonin he wasn't coughing though
Turns out it wasn't his family
That was intense. 16 minutes felt like an hour.
A HUGE THANK YOU to the first responding officer. This man deserves an award and a promotion. Please don't call this squad if my home is on fire and I am trapped upstairs with my child. They should have let the first responding officer suit up. He would have gone in and had them out in a matter of seconds.
He needs to get a medal! This was bravery beyond of what he signed up for...
@@insomnia20422 That's what he signed up for.
@@402floridian The first response is what he signed up for, but this guy stayed active even after the scene was technically turned over to Fire Rescue.
@@402floridian :: don't take away from the deputy. He didn't sign up to be a firefighter. That's who you should be speaking out against because that was a miserable response by the FD.
Actually he did a poor job.. He could have easily climbed or be assist lifted to the roof... this was the worst response by the police and firemen I have ever seen in my life...and you want to give out awards.... sad.
This first cop on scene was incredible. God bless you forever and ever in Jesus name.
Amén.
That's sweet of you
Amen!
Inshallah I hope Allah leads everyone and there loved ones down the right path inshallah love you all ♥️

I’ve never seen a more collective group of people showing such incompetence at the beginning of the whole situation. Staggering.
Words can’t express how much everyone who responded from the emergency responders to the locals and especially to those officers, very grateful for yall, many blessings to y’all forever
His first question was "Is the baby okay?" What a champion! Glad to see everyone come out alive!
Defund the fire dept and use the money to provide the police with oxygen cylinders and goggles.
@@sintaxera It's a volunteer fire department. You get what you pay for...

Agreed
volunteer fire department, the station is is not manned. they did good.
@@FowlorTheRooster1990 dude your like twelve, this was one of the fastest response times ive seen im a firefighter and it takes us longer than that not because were lazy but because of traffic
equipment malfunction etc.
@@FowlorTheRooster1990 /tp FireTruck BurningHouse
It was a volunteer department with tax funds (Hint being a volunteer) so their gear, trucks, response time, and experience are a lot more "Different" than professionally trained FF's
Policeman's deserves recognition! ❤️
I dont say this alot but the cops were seriously impressive! And the fire department i have no words!
Smthng fishy is going on there, why does the fireman hv to scream at the woman to get out of the burning building? The husband has absolutely no sense of urgency. What the heck’s going on?
Drunk or doped out of their mind. I don't understand how you just stand there with your wife and child in a burning building..
Right?! Possibly hypoxemia?
Possibly smoke inhalation... they will ask questions and investigation will start
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
because of panic ?
because she ask her to get out before her children ?
everyone react different ! if he reacted in panic and start do shit like going in , or push firefighters to rush or sht
he would gain nothing. plus smoke inhalation .
Who's cutting onions in here? Man, seeing that baby like that at first got me as a parent.
The amount of grit in my eye is appalling right now lol
It hit me hard when I saw the kid unresponsive.
Amen, brother.
LoL
I never thought I could make such a huge sigh of relief just from hearing someone say "She's breathing".
13:06 yeah it was hard for me too.
I did have a negative opinion about cops, but after watching this, it has changed my mind. There is still hope in humanity.
Hero’s!!! These men and women put their lives on the line everyday and they don’t get enough credit. A great outcome because of a few selfless people. Thank you for your service 🙏
i like how every time he enters to extinguish the flames, someone just starts standing on his path out blocking him
I know I was holding my breath with him and at the same time I was like move the f#%^ out of the way 🤦🏾♀️
Jay K,the man told the fireman(no no don't go in there lol.
They’re donning their scba’s, not gear, which is pretty standard. No rush however which is incredibly irresponsible
If I was doing that and each time they were blocking I would push there ass to the ground l
Don't just stand there in the damn DOOR WAY!!!
Huge respect to every cop out there who risk their lives for us
Amen

Thank you sir for keeping your cool and helping that family not to lose anyone
Wow!!! Thank God for the the deputies who was first on scene!! That was intense to watch but so happy everyone made it out
Someone standing in the door and blocking the Officer's way out of the smoke _every single time_ he went inside to extinguish the flames got me so freakin' upset.
panic makes you do stupid things you know . . .
He was holding the door open.
he was the father of the kids and the husband from the mother and he was in panic so probily he tries to help
he looked high.
Emil Sieland He sounded high lol. Every time the cop would ask a question, he seems to stall a clear answer.
What’s up with the guy at the door, seems out of it, I’d be a bit more emotional if my family was trapped in a house fire
Maybe he just woke up? Smoke inhalation?
People react in different ways on this kind of situations
Digga Dirt he’s not coughing nor is he short of breath so I doubt he’s having trouble breathing
Youric Hunt why of course ? He doesn’t seem to be suffering from smoke inhalation just doesn’t seem that concerned that his family may be dying upstairs
Not gonna lie he looks drunk or high to me
I'm literally crying. Way to go officers and EMS and Fire Fighers. This was amazing
This is so sad, THANK YOU TO THE POLICE AND FIRE AND EMS FOR RUSHING TO HELP THIS FAMILY.
Kudos to the police department. On the other hand - the worst fire department i have ever seen. How unorganised as if there's no rush whatsoever.
"No rush" is the way I saw it too. Really?
Even small town all volunteer fire fighters get there faster did
Dude*
Yah 5 minutes of standing around once they got there. And then cursing and screaming at the kids? Omg!
Yeah,I'm italian and in Italy the Firefighters are one of the best in the world,but we don't have a fire department in every city,for example,in my town I have to wait for 15 minutes for the Firefighters
Great video, but as an ex-firefighter it bugs me to no end when I see firefighters arrive without their masks on. Can't tell me they didn't know people were trapped. They're in slow motion.......
I agree - I showed up on scene once without the mask on, but it was a 2 minute response time from call to door...
Chief walks up like he is looking for his car keys....
Definitly need some more intense 60 second turnout drills
Idk... last time the firefighters came to my house because my fire alarm went off (no fire) none of them had their masks on. I don't even think I saw them hanging honestly.
@@tungusta1658 firefighter here. If we know there are occupants, two get off with masks and axe and make entry as soon as the truck stops. Just like the first one to go in. What the others were doing... Who knows.
@@mastersanada common for alarms. Not common for confirmed fires, especially with trapped occupants.
What a brave but also very situationally intelligent officer. He didn't go upstairs because he knew he would just get lost and probably pass out in the process then he would be no use to anyone. Hats off!
The dad looked way to chill in that situation
Awh, at the very end when the officer says “Is the baby OK?” He was only thinking about the baby not about himself. He is so selfless ❤️❤️❤️❤️
LMAO yeesh
Yeas he really deserve award
Legend has it the fire dept is still trying to put their suits on
Lol.
Oh come on
legend has it that this child the police holding is gonna be a police some day too
Southern Texan lol
OMG IM DYIGN AHHAHAHAHAHAH
All the hero’s, thank you for saving these babies..and their mom! Much bravery displayed by all the cops and firefighters ❤️❤️❤️
None of these firefighters moved with a purpose. Sickening props to the deputies
The officer who asked was the baby okay, he brought tears to my eye's 😢 his loving heart ❤ please award these officers please!
That got me too. Last couple minutes of the video is so condensed with emotion!
I completely agree with you @LeLe Love
I'm going to say this, those firefighters should have done a better job when they showed up, the chief there needs to take his day out in those guys because our dept would have had them out within maybe a minute of getting there. 2 entrapped on the 2nd floor, you get a ladder asap before you even step inside. officers did one hell of a job though, that smoke alone could have permanently damaged his lungs if not killed him.
RUclips is already sending out silver play button badges, while the president is preparing medals after reading your comment :,-)
The police officers were awesome, they went way above and beyond. There department has a lot to be proud of.
My heart melted when the deputy asked whether if the baby is okay or not. He was genuinely more concerned about the baby than himself. Kudos
The firefighters and the EMS seems like it’s their very first day on the job, ever! Staggering incompetence!!!
Yes I agree that sheriff's depth Deputies went beyond expected
What the hell. The mother went first not screaming take my baby first. This is seriously insane.
Pretty sure she was not in her right mind due to the lack of oxygen. Otherwise she would have tried to get out from the windows a long time ago.
Lol have u ever inhaled smoke from a cigarette. Now imagine that black smoke for many minutes
A True Patriot you totally missed the point
@A True Patriot yep, she dosnt understand what is going on, thats the point.
@A True Patriot she had been in that smoke filled room for about 14 minutes- very little oxygen. She was barely conscious and seemed delirious.
How many times is the man going to just stand there in the way?
As many times as it takes.
He’s stupid
Get the kids that did make it out to a safer spot?
I get your frustration, but you don't get his. Like most people, he cannot do anything in this situation; yet, his loved ones are trapped inside. You cannot fight such a strong instinct.
?He could be high due to the fumes, and I'm guessing that all of his family are there!
The sherif acted in a very heroic manner. It’s lucky he was on the scene.
You can see how much they care! HEROES!
3:08 "fire dept is coming sir"
little did he know that they were incompetent as fuck
Never seen such a slow moving fire dept . When lives at stake.
As a firefighter, I will say that this isn’t an ideal situation, and it seems like they don’t know how to handle children. However, they did get in and locate them very quickly, all things considered
Yea but what would have happened if they weren’t there? At least they put there life on the the line and saved a baby and a mother from burning to death
I can say as a volunteer fire fighter. It’s not that easy to get there quickly if you’re far away. It may seem a long time. But we have to go safely in order to get there in good time. We don’t waste time getting to the scene. Most of the time I have my gear on before I even get to the station or the scene.
Maybe everybody was in their way in traffic, because some people suck.
It was like watching the Three Stooges. The cops had a better grip on things. Only one fireman got in the house and upstairs and found the mother and toddler. None of them ever got around to putting the fire out! Nope, the cop went in like 5 times to extinguish the fire with what he had on hand. He had no special clothing to protect him from heat, and nothing to help him breathe either, yet he went in several times to try to keep the fire controlled until help arrived.
I like that guy who got them to pick up the pace. Sometimes you need that voice.
Thank you police, firefighters and EMS for saving their lives.
These officers are amazing! Not all officers are evil, there are so many good people who want to help communities from trouble.
The majority are good❤
90 percent of police are good but are treated like the small 10 percent that are bad. I'm like 80 percent sure that all the people that try to say cops are racist tyrants are people who escalated a 200 dollar speeding ticket into assault charges.
That right there is a Sheriff's Deputy, Not a Police Officer
This might be the slowest most incompetent fire dept in history.
I’ve seen small hillbilly volunteer depts do a better job.
That’s why I asked if it’s the Fire deapartments first day! Holy crap! And no EMS dispatched at the same time either. I’m confuzzled.
I’ve been an EMT for 25 years and observing all this made me so frustrated!!
All that nice gear and done know how to use it...
Tammy Belgarde ems was there during extraction I believe, I saw a Stryker
That's an officer that deserves a medal, went right in there with the extinguisher, not just standing and waiting, he made effort to do something.
The smoke is tough on your lungs, because its insulation and all the stuff in walls burning as well as carpet and a number of other things, its too bad the officer didn't have a mask or something, but he did a great job.
Good work from the officers who responded, didn't give up, and that's important because its when you give up that you really lose.
When life is on the line you do not give an inch, a millimeter a moment.
Five times I saw them go in and inhale black smoke. Probably saved the houses connected as well.
If anyone doubts law enforcement, they should watch videos like this.
I don't see any gangsters actually protecting their turf like these guys do.
Only a person with a real spine does what these people did.
Really good work guys, exceptional.
I'm so glad that the dog was safe and saved! 🥺😢🐾💖🙏 Hope she/he is ok!
Also glad that mother and child was saved as well!
To the policemen: Good job! 🙏✨🌟
I'm a police officer in germany and I really need to pay big respect to the officers, especially the first arriving one! Although it is very very dangerous for himself, he is so brave.
Just two things from my point of view, maybe somebody can explain. I know from german fire departments they put on their breathing apparatus on while on response. So they are ready to engage or enter a smoke filled building right away. I never saw american fire fighters do that. Why is that?
And I guess the seperation of work is more consequent here, i mean like all the deputies are climbing on the ladder and all and maybe obstructing a bit the work of the fire department. I've been in enough stressy situations to understand its not always that easy, i was just wondering.
And the coloured man should have been removed earlier from the door, he is really hindering and also its quite dangerous for him.
BUT! Huge massive thank you for the huge efforts by all involved, awesome work done!
The first few guys in uniform were police officers, breathing apparatus are not standard issue for them. As for the firemen that showed up, I would imagine it's up to the department and their policy.
This was a mess. It is amazing they did not perish. Absolutely, the first on the scene should have told the man and the children to get out of harms way and their way. Why the firemen were not ready or in a hurry, I do not know. Why the cops were on the ladder? I guess they felt like all of us, somebody who feels a sense of urgency needs to do it because the firemen did not. I have never seen anything like it.
I sure hope they are shown this video for training.
I know it’s a hard job, but they need to tighten up their practices. Seconds matter.
The firefighters need much more training. I think the officers went up the ladder because they didn't trust those firefighters to get it done.
Im sorry but I refuse to read all of that.
@@tsm_lloyd4322 thanks for commenting anyway
If it wasn't for that police officer the house would've been totally engulfed in flames and the woman and children inside would probably be dead. That officer bought them a ton of time, fire took ages to arrive.
I bet the officer set the black family’s house on fire. He was obviously white and since all white police are from KKK, obviously the police set the house so they could look good saving people from the danger they put those people in. Obviously, we need to end with all forms of military activity, such as firefighters and police.

Bruh I can’t tell if you’re joking or not but u sound dumb
Bru He’s only saying what so many of the *extremists* in the Black Lives Matter movement would say. Just look at the vile comments by many people.
I was going to post this, but you did. Very true.
Average fire response time is about 8 minutes from call to arrival for a paid department and 15-20 for a volunteer fire department. So it wasn't really that long coming from someone in the fire field. However, the deputies did do an amazing job controlling the fire before they got there and deserve all the respect for this rescue. If it were not for them, this video wouldn't have had the same outcome.
This is what Protect and Serve looks like. Hats off the the Police DP, Fire and EMS!
As a mother, I was heartbroken. Thanks to the policemen and the firemen, the family will see another day together. Thanks to the 1st responders. God bless you all ❣️🙏
I’ve never seen worse firefighters in my life. This was absolutely abysmal. I know a lot of firefighters and they would’ve handled this situation with lightning speed and much differently. I’ve shown this video to a few of them and they are just beyond confused with how it was handled. Definitely a teachable moment but at the expense of human life.
At least they showed up and everyone was safe.
Well thankfully it actually wasn't at the expense of human life this time but no thanks to those slow moving firefighters anyone could have thrown on the gear and done that in slow motion like they did,, they're SUPPOSED to have done urgency...
@@Saranita79 - Thanks for reply. It’s a bit of a false dichotomy and strawman fallacy rolled into one statement though. Meaning-I never said anything about questioning whether or not firefighters were even going to show up, nor did I question whether they wanted to keep people safe. My comments were only about how they went about their job and had nothing to do with whether or not the job would take place at all.
Also, just because a person/people are successful at accomplishing their job doesn’t mean they did the job well or can’t be critiqued in order to improve.
My comment was about how they did their job yet you replied with at least they did their job. Do you see how you’re arguing a point that wasn’t brought up in the first place?
I promise that I’m really not trying to be rude here at all. It’s just that about half of the U.S. argues/debates this way these days. Fallacies, false dichotomies, irony, hypocrisy, etc seems to be very common in America-particularly with reactionary demographics (e.g.- Trump supporters, etc.). It actually fascinates me as, when I’ve pointed out to family members (for example) that they are using a fallacy like a strawman, they tend to not understand what dallies are or that a fallacy even occurred. Part of me wants to find out if thinking this was is genetic as I’ve noticed that my brother, who’s an engineer, see’s the world in black and white, right and wrong, with no shades of grey. He is also a Christian and young earth creationist. Whereas, I study evolutionary biology and history, and see the world as nuance. We had the same mother and father, but when you look at our Ancestry DNA results, I’m mostly Norwegian (highly progressive society) and German and he’s mostly English and German. We had the exact same upbringing. I’m right handed and he’s left handed. It’s just fascinating that he constantly uses fallacious arguments, false dichotomies, and is unintentionally ironic and hypocritical, whereas I’m a skeptic and use the scientific method. He’s a conservative who rarely changes his mind, is a libertarian with very little empathy and I’m a progressive who is constantly trying to find new data to see if the way I think and behave can be improved. I’m just so fascinated by this issue.
@@ttrestle ok then…I’m a conservative Trump supporter and proud to be one. I’m also a Christian, my point was at least everyone got out safely. I do think they need more training for sure but thank goodness their best was good enough this time but they may not be so lucky next time. I do agree with you on that but these commentators are to busy hating on them to realize they still put their lives in danger and got it taken care of. Looking at the positive side of things is what we should all be doing, lifting each other up as Americans not putting each other down.
@@Saranita79 that’s really fascinating that you’re a Christian and Trump supporter who replied to my original comment using fallacious arguments and false dichotomies. You replied again with another strawman fallacy and a other false dichotomy. Never did I say that I didn’t appreciate them putting their lives in danger and I was clear in my reply to you that criticism is not the same thing as saying they shouldn’t be there or even that they did poorly on any other job. I literally replied to your reply saying that you obviously made a mistake doing this as you were arguing points that no one ever brought up and you were creating false dichotomies. I pointed out that this type of argument reply is typically used by poorly educated demographics such as conservatives who support Trump. It’s also used by religious conservatives. Without even knowing what your demographic was beforehand I was able to statistically guess that you were a conservative. You proved my point and I just find that to be really interesting.
Instead of you teaching yourself what fallacies are and why they advertise an inability to argue/debate, and instead of looking up the specific example of a strawman fallacy, and instead of teaching yourself what a false dichotomy is, you basically admitted that you don’t know what these things are, don’t care, and you doubled down. This is exactly what a conservative reactionary would do.
The hero is that sheriff's officer! He dropped his vest, went up the ladder and in the house with nothing on. The fire department is INCOMPETENT! All the cops were heroes!! That baby would not have made it without those cops!!!
That's what I'm saying!! All the firemen standing around and the cops are the ones going up the latter and getting people out! Those officers are heros!
Did you watch the same video?? The firefighter at the top of the ladder getting the people put handing them to the cops while there are 2 others in full gear inside looking for people and 2 others working the hose if the fire department hadn't shown up with their men and tools it would have been like the first 10 minutes alot of standing around and running around with a fire extinguisher accomplishing nothing
I agree way too much wasted time looking very unorganized.
Right! It took 14 minutes to arrive on scene and then they stood around for another 5 minutes "getting ready" to do their job! Then they finally get the baby out and the paramedic is no where around. When the deputy finds the paramedic, he is still inside is truck and unorganized! So much wasted time! Thank god for the police officers!
@@LilSis1679 ... They may only have a volunteer fire department. That means they scramble from home, to the firehouse and then out.
The town I live in had a volunteer department for the first 10 years I lived here. Macomb's a big county with the population kinda spread out.
This first responder officers are the real deal they really went above their job to save this family!
That's about as real life as it gets. Well done to those cops for keeping that fire from spreading.
Much respect for that cop that took his vest off & quickly ran up the ladder doing another mans job. Everybody else just dragging their feet.
PATHETIC!!
everyone else played a role in saving the children and woman, you obiously dont know how a fire team works nor paramedics
I agree with you the cops were moving faster then the firefighters!
👏👏👏 props to the first officer on scene that jumped into action while the idiot in the blue shirt at the door had no clue or desire to do or help anyone. They saved that baby.
@@JesseLatourrette if this is how your fire teams work, it ain't working.
True. The one firefighter showed up after all the other ones and had to scream orders at his guys to get off their asses and speed up the process. They showed up 15 minutes late and werent even prepared once they arrived on scene. If it werent for the officers and the one firefighter trying to speed things up, this could have ended very differently. Also could have ended very differently if the fire would have caught up a bit faster. Everyone made it out safe in the end, but this could have been handled better by a lot of the fire fighters, especially the ones just standing around once they first got on scene to the point where the officers had to step up and do their jobs for them.
The police really made those first intense minutes count! Courageously putting the fire out with no mask or breathing gear, keeping that home from complete cinders. Great job, heroes!🌹
This is reality, for every BAD COP, there are thousands of good, honest, brave men and women who put their lives at risk for us.
Just try to imagine what our lives would be like WITHOUT THEM.
What a great job well done! Those officers who responded and arrived first took it to their own hands to help save lives. Amazing officers!! Great job by everyone!!
I was shouting at the guy in the doorway to bloody movvvve.... 14 minutes is too long! They should of been there under 5 however everyone was rescued safe a sound and that is wonderful. The police officer tried so hard to get in and keep putting that fire out, he was the hero in my eyes.
