officers saved a couple who was sleeping from a house fire, and it was all caught
on body camera.
The fire happened Saturday
around 5:50 a.m. at 105 Holly Drive in the Rio Grande section of the township.
Patrolmen Mark Bakley and
Shawn Rocca arrived at the home before firefighters got there when they learned
Frederick Hofstetter, 83, and Susan Hofstetter, 72, were still inside the
first-floor residence.
Bakley and Rocca gained
access through a secured rear fence and found the rear sliding glass door was
unlocked. The officers
braved the flames and found the couple asleep in bed. They were taken to safety, along
with their dog.
The Rio Grande Fire
Department and Green Creek Fire Department responded and extinguished the fire.
