Police officers and a firefighter answered an emergency call on Thursday September 11 when a home in Aurora Illinois caught fire from the back of the home.
Aurora investigators Michael Ely and his partner Jacob Leonard managed to break down the burning home when they saw a four year old named Oakley by himself when Michael rescued Oakley and took him away from the burning home safely.
No one was inside of the house when the fire started. The cause of the fire started in the attic.
The owners of the home will be staying in another home as precaution for the time being.
No one was injured in the fire of the home.

I am sure that the dog was scared being inside of a house on fire.

It was a good result that the pet dog was saved, but the fire damage to the home would be a real downer, though.

That is true since not having a home to live due to a fire is not good.
