Officer rescues disabled woman from burning home in St. Charles

VIDEO/PHOTOS: A mid-Michigan police officer rushed into a burning home to rescue a disabled woman trapped inside. The Tri-Township Fire Department said they responded to a fire at a home on the 13000 Hanchett Road in St. Charles Township on Sunday, Nov. 2.

The victimโ€™s family had tried to get the woman to safety, but couldnโ€™t reach her. Without hesitation, firefighters said St. Charles patrolman Ryan Hull ran into the house, found the woman and pulled her outside to safety, then treated her with first aid.

โ€œI feel like I did my job,โ€ said Hull. โ€œI did what any first responder wouldโ€™ve done.โ€ The woman has physical limitations, and could not get out on her own.

โ€œI ran up, the family had her to the front door, I told them to move, I grabbed ahold of her and I just pulled with everything I had until I got her safely out,โ€ said Hull. โ€œMoments later, obviously the whole house went up.โ€

The Tri-Township Fire District made a Facebook post pointing out that Hull made the rescue. It has almost 500 likes and dozens of comments.
