Sarasota Florida Police Officers answered an emergency call on Friday evening when a house was on fire which endangered a man and a woman who needed to be rescued. The police officers risked their lives by getting into the burning home despite the fact that energized power lines and malfunction transformers in the area making the rescue harder. The couple who were inside the burning home were able to get out safely only suffering minor injuries before the Sarasota County Fire Department firefighters came to douse the fire.

Every year fire accidents occur in our city Kolkata taking many lives. Though fire brigades do their work bravely many die of fire .

Police officers don’t even have protection, they don’t wait for help. They go in and take huge risks when no one else will.
