January 1, Sheriff’s deputy kicks in door during Colorado fire rescue

Wyatt’s Take

• A Colorado deputy responded after bystanders said they could not get inside a burning home.
• He forced open the front door and searched the smoke-filled house for anyone trapped inside.
• The deputy also rescued a dog as the fire spread to a second home, with no injuries reported.

A Colorado deputy did not wait for permission when he saw a home engulfed in flames. He kicked the front door right off its hinges to search for trapped neighbors.

Body camera footage shows the moment the deputy took action while neighbors stood by helpless. One witness told the officer the door would not move despite their best efforts.
