A brave police officer risked his life charging into a burning house to save two dogs from a house fire.
Body camera footage shows Caledonia K-9 Officer Cory Radke running towards the flaming building and entering the smoke-filled home through the garage. He whistles and calls out to anyone who might still be inside the building, and eventually discovers a 12-year-old dog, Deezel, lying calmly on the couch.
Radke quickly picked her up and took her outside before returning to the burning building to continue his search. The house was so thick with smoke that Radke had to use a torch to search the property.
“The smoke was getting to me,” the heroic officer said, “[I] had to get on out of there and let the true heroes, [the firefighters], clear it.”
When the firefighters arrived, they swept the house and found another dog, Fido, cowering beneath a bed.
“[The] fire department went in there and ended up taking out a window and crawling in there and getting the dog out, bringing them out of the smoke,” added Radke. “It was like a little Lion King moment there.”
The house suffered severe fire damaged, but thankfully, the owners weren’t at home and nobody was injured. Thanks to this heroic officer and the brave firefighters, these two lucky dogs escaped a certain tragedy.

I guarantee you that this officer would not, did not, will not terrorize or kill people of any race. Somebody told me, that not until people will treat each other with respect and kindness, only then can those be extended to animals. I have a question: why didn’t it happen yet? When will it happen? Answer: Never!!! People of any race, nationality, gender are not capable to respect each other and co-exist in peace, because that equation only works in the reverse order.
“As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings, he will NEVER know HEALTH or PEACE. For as long as men massacre animals they WILL kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain CANNOT reap joy and love.” – Pythagoras (570 – 480 BC/BCE) Greek mathematician & philosopher.
Well done Officer Radke, I admire your bravery and courage. A real heroic action.
Agree.
Thank you to this brave officer for saving this sweet dog!
a good soul
Indeed.
