On a Saturday night, a dramatic video emerged showing the moment when police officers bravely rushed into a dog kennel filled with heavy smoke to rescue 46 dogs in Fairfield. The incident took place at a business complex on Bloomfield Avenue near Route 46.
Upon arrival, the police officers did not have any fire safety equipment but still bravely entered the Pio Costa Industrial Complex where the kennels were located. In the video, the officers can be seen breaking through a security door to gain access to the kennels, where they quickly began searching for and rescuing the dogs.
The fire that caused the smoke started in a nearby convenience and smoke shop before spreading to other businesses in the area, including the kennel. Unfortunately, one police officer had to be taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation as a result of the rescue operation. However, all 46 dogs were successfully rescued and taken to a different facility where they were checked out by a veterinarian.
The quick and brave actions of the police officers ensured that all the animals were safe and out of harm’s way. The video has since gone viral on social media, with many people praising the officers for their bravery and selflessness in saving innocent lives.
