Around 6 a.m. on Jan. 27, Santa Fe County first responders were called to a house fire near Veterans Memorial Highway and South Meadows Road. Deputies Rudy Vallejo and Levi Abeyta were the first two to arrive at the scene and found a mobile home engulfed in flames. According to a police report, a 15-year-old boy called for help after discovering his home was on fire. The teen was able to escape after breaking a window on a door before deputies arrived. But the teen told first responders, his father and 12-year-old brother were still inside. Body camera video shared with KOAT by the sheriff’s office shows the moments Vallejo and Abeyta search the home, hoping to find the boy and his dad.
