Neighbours of an Orlando, Florida deputy saw flames and realized that her house was on fire at about 11pm on Monday, they quickly called 911 and rushed to help her, her husband, their two children. One of the neighbors, Mr Dover, was able to break through all the front windows of the home and rescue the Seminole County sheriff’s deputy.
Fortunately, Firefighters responded to the fire around 11:20 p.m. and were able to pull her husband
from the home but because of the thickness of the smoke, they couldn’t find the couple’s 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter who were still trapped in the house.
“The little boy was not breathing when they brought him out. They put a mask on him, he came to,” said Dover.
“We ran over next door to see where the sound came from and you could see the flames coming out,” neighbor Chip Dover said.
“We were banging on the windows,”. “I pulled on the front door enough to pull the latch right off of it. Nothing happened.”

“We didn’t hear anything anymore, so then we went to the next window, smashed that one out and I pulled (the trapped woman) out of that window,” Dover said.
“Her primary concern was to get back in there and to rescue her children,” he said. “She’s an absolute trooper. She’s a hero within our organization and her actions tonight demonstrate that behavior.
“We’re very proud of her.”
