- 0:00Speaker 1: This guy is stuck on a railway in a wheelchair
- 0:02Speaker 1: and a train is on its way. This officer needs
- 0:05Speaker 1: to act fast if he's gonna save this man's life.
- 0:08Speaker 2: I'll be out the mal Saclar tracks checking him out.
- 0:12Speaker 1: On the morning of August twelfth, twenty twenty, officer Erika
- 0:15Speaker 1: Yuria found himself patrolling in California near the railroad tracks,
- 0:19Speaker 1: but she didn't know that she would be saving a man's.
- 0:21Speaker 3: Life in just a matter of minutes.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Suddenly, her attention was drawn to a man in a
- 0:25Speaker 1: wheelchair who seemed to be trapped on the tracks, just
- 0:28Speaker 1: as the crossing arms began to come down, signaling an
- 0:30Speaker 1: oncoming train. Recognizing the danger, the officer rushed out of
- 0:34Speaker 1: her patrol car and towards the wheelchair bound man.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Pline one, I'll be out the mal Saclar tracks checking
- 0:41Speaker 2: him out. Good kicking it up.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Luckily, the hero officer managed to pull him out just
- 0:59Speaker 1: moments before he would have been crushed by the train. Unfortunately,
- 1:02Speaker 1: he got a leg injury during the rescue and had
- 1:04Speaker 1: to be taken to a local hospital for more help. However,
- 1:07Speaker 1: that's just a minor injury compared to what would have
- 1:10Speaker 1: happened if the officer never arrived. This is a perfect
- 1:13Speaker 1: example of good cops not hesitating in the face of danger.
- 1:16Speaker 1: But what happens when there's a baby at stake.
- 1:18Speaker 4: He's still blinking.
- 1:19Speaker 3: He's blinking.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Sterling Heights, Michigan. Just before eleven pm on a Thursday,
- 1:23Speaker 1: the police received a call to a residence on the
- 1:25Speaker 1: thirty six hundred block of Wealthame Drive. Officer Cameron macy
- 1:29Speaker 1: Jewski was the first to arrive on the scene, and
- 1:31Speaker 1: he didn't waste a moment. Screams and cries could be
- 1:34Speaker 1: heard from the terrified family, and the cop immediately knew
- 1:37Speaker 1: he had to act fast.
- 1:40Speaker 3: Let me see the baby.
- 1:41Speaker 4: He's still blinking.
- 1:42Speaker 3: He's blinking. Hold on, hold on, there you go. Okay,
- 1:48Speaker 3: he's crying.
- 1:49Speaker 4: He's crying. Okay, he's crying.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Hey, it's okay.
- 1:53Speaker 4: He's crying.
- 1:54Speaker 3: He's trying. He's crying. He's okay, he's crying. Yeah, she's breathing.
- 1:59Speaker 4: She was crying a minute ago.
- 2:01Speaker 5: Okay, all right, okay, yep, she's okay.
- 2:09Speaker 4: Ye back and she's got a pulse and she's breathing.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Okay.
- 2:12Speaker 1: With the baby now safe and sound, they could have
- 2:14Speaker 1: a conversation with her family, understand what happened and calmed
- 2:18Speaker 1: them down.
- 2:18Speaker 6: You got to run through what happened. When did the
- 2:20Speaker 6: baby stop breathing?
- 2:23Speaker 4: She was like to start talking on the milk.
- 2:25Speaker 3: Okay, she's breathing. Now, we'll just hold on. Just let
- 2:29Speaker 3: them work on her. Make sure she's following this hard
- 2:32Speaker 3: stopping moment.
- 2:33Speaker 1: The Sterling Heights Fire Department took over, transporting the baby
- 2:36Speaker 1: to the hospital for a thorough check up. Now things
- 2:39Speaker 1: get a lot more serious when there's a burning building
- 2:42Speaker 1: with a child trapped inside. There's no time to lose,
- 2:45Speaker 1: and the cop doesn't hesitate. Even a few seconds could
- 2:48Speaker 1: cost the child his life.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Your face, where is where does he sleep in there?
- 3:05Speaker 4: Where does he sleep in there?
- 3:07Speaker 1: Right?
- 3:07Speaker 7: Where?
- 3:08Speaker 5: Where is.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Right here?
- 3:11Speaker 4: Wherever he is? I don't know where his.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Bed is in here?
- 3:17Speaker 1: The deputy remains calm the whole time while the mother panics.
- 3:21Speaker 1: He knows that he needs to stay as relaxed as
- 3:23Speaker 1: possible if they're going to save the child, but he
- 3:25Speaker 1: also knows that time is running out. Another deputy arrives
- 3:28Speaker 1: and they work together to try and find the child.
- 3:31Speaker 1: They could hear the boy groaning and coughing, so they
- 3:33Speaker 1: knew he was in the room, but they couldn't figure
- 3:35Speaker 1: out exactly where Where are you at?
- 3:45Speaker 4: I can't see where?
- 3:48Speaker 6: But why do I need to.
- 3:49Speaker 4: Come to the light man? Where you at? Bud? Were
- 3:55Speaker 4: you at Bud?
- 3:56Speaker 1: There's no way that they could find the child even
- 3:58Speaker 1: if they could get in, so they need the child
- 4:00Speaker 1: to come to them.
- 4:06Speaker 4: That's going the other way. What's his name?
- 4:15Speaker 2: Right up? Come here?
- 4:19Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 4:19Speaker 4: But where's yes?
- 4:20Speaker 1: After about three and a half minutes of urgently calling
- 4:23Speaker 1: for Owen, the child finally appeared, and the cops immediately
- 4:26Speaker 1: sprung into action and reached into the smoke to pull
- 4:28Speaker 1: into safety. They don't even stop for a moment to
- 4:31Speaker 1: consider their own safety. Their only concern is the child.
- 4:34Speaker 6: Come here, reach out to us, keep coming, Come on, Kirk,
- 4:38Speaker 6: give your hand.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Talk to me, talk to you, hey, hey, all right?
- 5:10Speaker 1: You got the drab an airbag. The child is immediately
- 5:18Speaker 1: carried away from the building and given oxygen. He's unresponsive
- 5:21Speaker 1: at first, but that's normal given the horrible ordeal that.
- 5:24Speaker 3: He's just gone through.
- 5:25Speaker 1: The deputies stay with him until the paramedics took him
- 5:28Speaker 1: to the hospital, where he made a full recovery.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Thanks to these extremely brave officers.
- 5:32Speaker 1: The fire might have been started from a fire pit
- 5:34Speaker 1: that a family member lit before they went inside and
- 5:36Speaker 1: dozed off while the fire was still burning. Eventually the
- 5:39Speaker 1: flames spread and reached the house. Good cops and quick
- 5:43Speaker 1: responses saved this child's life. There's no telling what might
- 5:46Speaker 1: have happened if he hadn't located him in time. Children
- 5:49Speaker 1: aren't the only ones who need saving, though, And this
- 5:51Speaker 1: time the clock is ticking.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Before we got one.
- 5:55Speaker 4: Now he's time to see her what needy missing.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Two New Austin police officers responded to a call about
- 6:02Speaker 1: a truck completely engulfed in flames with someone trapped inside. Obviously,
- 6:07Speaker 1: they had to move quickly before the vehicle completely exploded.
- 6:12Speaker 3: Get that stinguisher.
- 6:25Speaker 1: It has to be incredibly hot around the truck, but
- 6:28Speaker 1: the cop isn't going to let that stop him.
- 6:40Speaker 3: Hey man, but the door open.
- 6:47Speaker 1: One officer begins to pull the man out of the
- 6:49Speaker 1: vehicle while the other attempts to put out some of
- 6:51Speaker 1: the flames around the door. They want as safe an
- 6:53Speaker 1: exit as possible for the man, but they quickly figure
- 6:56Speaker 1: out that the fire.
- 6:56Speaker 3: Extinguisher isn't helping.
- 6:58Speaker 1: The fire is just too hot and it's completely enveloped
- 7:01Speaker 1: the truck, and there's no way they're putting it out.
- 7:04Speaker 3: That's hot.
- 7:05Speaker 6: Come on, come out out, help me, help me get
- 7:09Speaker 6: him real quick, come on, come on, hold onto poo
- 7:14Speaker 6: poo pool.
- 7:17Speaker 1: They managed to pull the man from the vehicle and
- 7:19Speaker 1: soon realize why he was unresponsive. It's a lot more
- 7:23Speaker 1: than just shock.
- 7:26Speaker 4: Set him over.
- 7:27Speaker 2: You have a future before we got one.
- 7:29Speaker 4: Now he's time to seizure. Guendia messing.
- 7:33Speaker 1: The seizure changes the situation, and the cops immediately call
- 7:37Speaker 1: for medics. This is a great example of how officers
- 7:39Speaker 1: have to be able to respond to anything at a
- 7:41Speaker 1: moment's notice. They thought they were only dealing with a
- 7:43Speaker 1: car on fire, but now there's a man having a seizure.
- 7:46Speaker 1: All they can do is respond in the best way
- 7:48Speaker 1: possible and continue to help them in in any way
- 7:50Speaker 1: until the EMTs arrive.
- 7:53Speaker 3: We're not gonna do anything with it.
- 7:54Speaker 4: Hey, get everyone away from me.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Hey, help me put him over there, we'll get away.
- 7:59Speaker 4: From the fire.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Here.
- 8:09Speaker 4: You're okay, Okay, you're good.
- 8:14Speaker 1: You're good.
- 8:15Speaker 3: They're good. It would be good.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Samaritan then arrives with another fire extinguisher, but the officers
- 8:20Speaker 1: instruct him to stay away if they don't want to
- 8:22Speaker 1: put any more civilians in danger. The entire time, you
- 8:25Speaker 1: can see how they put everyone's safety before their own.
- 8:27Speaker 1: They are the ones who are trained for these conditions,
- 8:29Speaker 1: and it can often make things even more complicated by
- 8:32Speaker 1: having a civilian interfere.
- 8:35Speaker 5: You're not gonna do nothing.
- 8:36Speaker 2: That's not gonna do nothing.
- 8:36Speaker 6: It's not gonna help over here, get over there, over there, okay, okay.
- 8:41Speaker 4: Four four vehicles completely golfed.
- 8:44Speaker 1: EMTs arrived a few minutes later, and the man was
- 8:46Speaker 1: taken to the hospital, and just minutes later the vehicle
- 8:49Speaker 1: completely exploded. It seems like the officers got there just
- 8:52Speaker 1: in time, but this time, instead of technology, it's the
- 8:55Speaker 1: forces of nature that put a time limit on this case.
- 9:00Speaker 7: Definitely hypothermics, just breezing.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Officers arrived at the bank of the Utah River to
- 9:06Speaker 1: find that a car had completely overturned into it. On arrival,
- 9:09Speaker 1: they didn't know if anyone was still inside, and to
- 9:12Speaker 1: make things worse, it was the middle of winter and
- 9:14Speaker 1: the car was freezing. Anyone still in the car wasn't
- 9:17Speaker 1: going to last long, meaning whatever they were going to do.
- 9:20Speaker 3: They needed to act fast. What you got, le have?
- 9:27Speaker 7: You got.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Several crops surround the vehicle. They're trying to find any
- 9:38Speaker 1: possible way to get into the car, but the doors
- 9:40Speaker 1: won't budge, and too much of the car is underwater.
- 9:43Speaker 3: But they have to keep trying.
- 9:44Speaker 1: It's going to be difficult that they can't give up
- 9:46Speaker 1: until they know that the car is empty.
- 9:50Speaker 4: I know or anything on that side. Looks like some
- 9:53Speaker 4: of them freezing.
- 9:54Speaker 5: Yet we can try.
- 9:58Speaker 3: Fuck Eric, get over here. Battles.
- 10:02Speaker 1: The only thing that they can do is try to
- 10:04Speaker 1: flip the car. It seems impossible, but they don't have
- 10:07Speaker 1: any other choice. They need to know if anyone is inside.
- 10:09Speaker 1: It has to be getting colder and colder in there,
- 10:11Speaker 1: and they can't afford to wait. Hypothermia can develop in
- 10:14Speaker 1: as little as five minutes, depending on the conditions, and
- 10:17Speaker 1: they don't know how long the car has been there.
- 10:21Speaker 3: We're helping.
- 10:22Speaker 4: We're coming.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Get down here and Rion try and flip it.
- 10:39Speaker 4: Contact.
- 10:40Speaker 7: We gotta keep dealing with it, can.
- 10:45Speaker 6: Contact with.
- 10:47Speaker 7: I'm not seeing any more.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Miraculously, they're able to push the car onto its side,
- 10:52Speaker 1: but they're far from finished. They still don't see any
- 10:55Speaker 1: signs of movement, and they don't have a way of
- 10:57Speaker 1: getting in yet. Next, they bring in a winch to
- 10:59Speaker 1: try and lift the car more. They're hoping that if
- 11:01Speaker 1: they can get more of the car out of the water,
- 11:03Speaker 1: they might be able to get inside.
- 11:05Speaker 7: Where's the lanchat?
- 11:07Speaker 3: I don't want to do.
- 11:09Speaker 4: He starts bowing them up there.
- 11:12Speaker 7: You need to hot wors on this side.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Though, Before they lift the car any further, they catch
- 11:16Speaker 1: sight of something that makes their hearts drop and causes
- 11:19Speaker 1: things to become much more urgent.
- 11:23Speaker 5: Anybody, here's a bear right right?
- 11:33Speaker 2: Get up here, though, get up there.
- 11:37Speaker 1: There's a baby still in the car, and they don't
- 11:40Speaker 1: know how much longer it has. The water is freezing cold,
- 11:44Speaker 1: So while the officers continue to hold the car, a
- 11:46Speaker 1: firefighter at the scene manages to get the door open
- 11:48Speaker 1: and climb into the vehicle.
- 11:50Speaker 4: Laura, you need to go to the swords. I got
- 11:56Speaker 4: this door.
- 11:58Speaker 7: Hang on, hang on, hang on, don't move it?
- 12:00Speaker 1: What line?
- 12:04Speaker 4: Don't go? Hang on?
- 12:05Speaker 3: We got guys in.
- 12:09Speaker 2: Anybody got scissors belt?
- 12:13Speaker 1: The baby's seat belt is still engaged, and they don't
- 12:15Speaker 1: have the time to try and unlock it. The fastest
- 12:17Speaker 1: thing to do is cut through the belt. Everyone there
- 12:19Speaker 1: has to be panicking.
- 12:20Speaker 7: Now.
- 12:20Speaker 1: They don't even know if the baby is still conscious,
- 12:23Speaker 1: but they continue to remain calm and do their jobs.
- 12:25Speaker 1: After several tenth seconds, the baby is cut free.
- 12:29Speaker 4: Here you go, got it, got it there.
- 12:31Speaker 7: Passer up, passer up, Come on, baby, she's definitely hypothermic.
- 12:46Speaker 3: She's breezing.
- 12:49Speaker 1: The officer wastes no time in getting the baby to
- 12:51Speaker 1: the hospital. If it has hypothermia, then it needs immediate attention.
- 12:55Speaker 1: They needed to get it into dry clothes and warmed
- 12:57Speaker 1: up as soon as they can. Luckily, the baby was
- 12:59Speaker 1: rescue in time and the doctors were able to save it.
- 13:02Speaker 1: But sometimes there isn't even time to take someone to
- 13:05Speaker 1: the hospital.
- 13:06Speaker 4: Ground.
- 13:11Speaker 1: These Florida cops came upon a man unconscious in a
- 13:14Speaker 1: vehicle on the side of the road. By the time
- 13:16Speaker 1: they got to him, he was already in bad shape.
- 13:18Speaker 1: They didn't even know what the problem was, and there
- 13:20Speaker 1: was no time to call for help. They had to
- 13:22Speaker 1: act right then.
- 13:24Speaker 4: Him on the ground.
- 13:26Speaker 3: Get on the ground, sir, with his medical history.
- 13:35Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 13:35Speaker 4: He just picked up ten minutes ago.
- 13:36Speaker 2: You just picked him up.
- 13:37Speaker 5: Yeah, he's like, I need some money.
- 13:39Speaker 4: Can you put me to work? And I said, yeah,
- 13:41Speaker 4: we got a pole to breathing.
- 13:43Speaker 1: So the cops have to first figure out what's going on.
- 13:45Speaker 1: The man is barely breathing and totally unresponsive, but that
- 13:48Speaker 1: doesn't really narrow it down, and every second that they
- 13:51Speaker 1: waste could mean this man's life. He's not I don't
- 13:56Speaker 1: know if related. One officer wonders if it's drug related,
- 14:07Speaker 1: so they check his eyes and find out that they
- 14:09Speaker 1: are pinpoint. This means that his pupils are very constricted
- 14:13Speaker 1: and don't respond to changes in light, which is a
- 14:15Speaker 1: clear sign of an overdose. That, combined with the lack
- 14:18Speaker 1: of breathing, lets the officers know that they're on the
- 14:20Speaker 1: right track. So now that the problem is identified, they
- 14:22Speaker 1: have to move on to fixing it, which is a
- 14:25Speaker 1: lot harder than it sounds.
- 14:34Speaker 4: Isai narcanda ploid in the nostril.
- 14:37Speaker 1: One officer proceeds to rub the man's chest, a method
- 14:40Speaker 1: that is meant to stimulate them awake, while the other
- 14:42Speaker 1: administers the narkan into the man's nostril. Narkan or no
- 14:45Speaker 1: aloxon hydrochloride, is a drug designed to reverse an overdose.
- 14:49Speaker 1: The cops are obviously well trained in responding to these situations,
- 14:52Speaker 1: and they managed to administer the narkhan in less than
- 14:54Speaker 1: two minutes of being with the man.
- 15:00Speaker 2: There you go, There we go.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Hold on all right, take it off. After the narkhan,
- 15:13Speaker 1: the next step is to stimulate the victim's breathing. The
- 15:15Speaker 1: officers accomplished this using an air pump that is specially
- 15:18Speaker 1: designed for this type of situation. Once again, the officers
- 15:21Speaker 1: knew exactly what to do. It's amazing how much knowledge
- 15:24Speaker 1: they need just to do their jobs and use the
- 15:26Speaker 1: pump until the paramedics arrived.
- 15:28Speaker 3: At the scene to take a breath. Within a few minutes,
- 15:45Speaker 3: the man was breathing on his own and doing much better.
- 15:48Speaker 1: Thanks to the officers quick thinking and excellent training, the
- 15:50Speaker 1: man's life was saved. He was already on his last
- 15:53Speaker 1: breaths when they got to him, and he wouldn't have
- 15:55Speaker 1: lasted much longer. Now let's move on to our last case,
- 15:58Speaker 1: which might be the most intent hands of them all.
- 16:02Speaker 2: I'm come on, buddy, Jack, it's the police, It's all everybody.
- 16:07Speaker 7: Come on.
- 16:07Speaker 1: Wisconsin officers responded to a fire and arrived to find
- 16:11Speaker 1: a building completely engulfed in flames.
- 16:13Speaker 3: As if the situation wasn't.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Already stressful enough, they were informed that a child was
- 16:18Speaker 1: still trapped inside and there was no way for the
- 16:20Speaker 1: cops to get in.
- 16:42Speaker 2: Back bedroom.
- 16:42Speaker 3: I try to smash out the window.
- 16:46Speaker 1: They know the kid was inside, but they don't know where.
- 16:49Speaker 1: They do everything they can to try and find the child,
- 16:51Speaker 1: but the flames and smoke make it difficult to see
- 16:54Speaker 1: or hear anything.
- 16:55Speaker 3: They need to.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Locate the boy as soon as possible before he passes
- 16:59Speaker 1: out from the smoke. If they can't come to them,
- 17:01Speaker 1: then they may never get him out.
- 17:05Speaker 5: Come on, hello, hello, please, their body? Come on, man,
- 17:15Speaker 5: what's the kid's name? What's the kid's name? Hey? Back up,
- 17:20Speaker 5: get out of here? Heck up, you hear me?
- 17:23Speaker 3: I'm jay, hear me.
- 17:26Speaker 5: I come on, buddy, jay, it's the police.
- 17:31Speaker 3: It's all anybody, come on.
- 17:32Speaker 1: The child has to be terrified, so the cops hope
- 17:35Speaker 1: that hearing his name will make him respond. They're doing
- 17:38Speaker 1: everything they can to let the boy know that they're
- 17:41Speaker 1: trying to work to help him, but nothing seems to
- 17:43Speaker 1: be working. The odds are completely against them, but they
- 17:46Speaker 1: are determined to save the child.
- 17:52Speaker 3: Anybody come on, come on, you're right here.
- 18:06Speaker 5: He's right here.
- 18:08Speaker 3: You know what, he's right there.
- 18:09Speaker 5: Her take come here.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Come.
- 18:14Speaker 1: You can hear the total desperation in their voices. They
- 18:17Speaker 1: are not going to let the child go. They never
- 18:20Speaker 1: forgive themselves if they didn't get to him. Finally realizing
- 18:23Speaker 1: that he's going to have to go through the window,
- 18:25Speaker 1: one of the officers starts taking off his belt. They
- 18:28Speaker 1: are risking everything.
- 18:29Speaker 3: For the kids.
- 18:39Speaker 2: Windows.
- 18:39Speaker 4: Go for it, hold on, you're going to do it.
- 18:45Speaker 7: To it now.
- 18:51Speaker 1: The officer reaches through the window, but he still can't
- 18:54Speaker 1: get to the child. The flames make it impossible, and
- 18:57Speaker 1: he's not wearing any protective gear.
- 18:59Speaker 3: If he goes in, then he might not come back out.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Come on.
- 19:09Speaker 1: He still tries everything he can before a firefighter arrives
- 19:13Speaker 1: on scene. Now they have someone who can go into
- 19:15Speaker 1: the building.
- 19:22Speaker 3: Watch the path back.
- 19:23Speaker 5: Yut.
- 19:27Speaker 4: You like your mind down the right, Florida, you're right
- 19:31Speaker 4: down the right names M J J.
- 19:33Speaker 3: That's I don't know where he wants.
- 19:40Speaker 4: I heard him.
- 19:42Speaker 2: He's trying to get him right off, get it all,
- 19:50Speaker 2: Get up there, Get up there, off, get up there.
- 19:55Speaker 1: I got the front of the officer wastes no time
- 20:00Speaker 1: and getting the child medical help. He seems barely conscious
- 20:03Speaker 1: and needs oxygen as soon as possible. The boy had
