In the early morning hours of June 19, Police responded to the scene of a mobile home Fire in West Allis, Wisconsin.
When they arrived, the structure was fully involved. They ran around to the back of the home, smashing windows and desperately searching for a 3-year-old who was still trapped inside somewhere.
Bodycam footage from the incident shows the tense Rescue, as several officers attempt multiple times to enter a window at the back of the home. They spot the boy at one point, but he is either unresponsive or unable to come to them.
Moments pass as the cops’ desperation increases. They call the boy’s name — MJ — to no avail. One officer helps lift the other inside, but they’re still unable to Rescue the boy.
Finally a firefighter shows up, pries off the window frame and disappears into the billowing smoke.
