This guy is stuck on a railway in a wheelchair and a train is on its way. This officer needs to act fast if he's
00:00:06
going to save this man's life. I'll be out with him. He's stuck on the tracks. Trying to get him out. Get up. Get up.
00:00:11
Get up. Get up. Get up. On the morning of August 12th, 2020, Officer Erica Uribe found himself
00:00:16
patrolling in California near the railroad tracks. But she didn't know that she would be saving a man's life in
00:00:22
just a matter of minutes. Suddenly, her attention was drawn to a man in a wheelchair who seemed to be trapped on
00:00:27
the tracks just as the crossing arms began to come down signaling an oncoming [music] train. Recognizing the danger,
00:00:32
the officer rushed out of her patrol car and towards the wheelchair-bound man. 5150
00:00:39
I'll be out with him. He's stuck on the tracks. Trying to get him out. Come on. Can you get up?
00:00:44
Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. [music] Luckily, the hero officer managed to
00:00:57
pull him out just moments before he would have been crushed by the train. Unfortunately, he got a leg injury
00:01:03
during the rescue and had to be taken to a local hospital for more help. However,
00:01:07
that's just a minor injury compared to what would have happened if the officer never arrived. This is a perfect example
00:01:13
of good cops not hesitating in the face of danger. What happens when there's a baby at stake?
00:01:18
He's still blinking. He's blinking. In Sterling Heights, Michigan just before 11:00 p.m. on a Thursday, the police
00:01:24
received a call to a residence on the 3600 block of Waltham Drive. Officer Cameron Macy Juisky was the first to
00:01:30
arrive on the scene and he didn't waste a moment. Screams and cries could be heard from the terrified family and the
00:01:36
cop immediately knew he had to act fast. Let me see the baby. He's still blinking. He's blinking. Okay. Hold on.
00:01:45
Hold on. There you go. Okay. He's crying. He's crying. Okay? He's crying. Hey, it's
00:01:52
okay. He's crying. He's crying. He's crying. He's okay. He's crying. Yeah, she's breathing. She was crying a
00:02:00
minute ago. Okay. All right. Okay, yep, she's okay. All right. OKAY, YEP, I CAN FEEL she's got a pulse
00:02:11
and she's breathing, okay? With the baby now safe and sound, they could have a conversation with her family, understand
00:02:16
what happened, and calm them down. to run through what happened. When did the baby stop breathing?
00:02:23
She was like, "Start choking on the milk." Okay, she's breathing now. What Well, just hold on. Just let them work
00:02:29
on her. Make sure she's stabilized. Following this heart-stopping moment, the Sterling Heights Fire Department
00:02:35
took over, transporting the baby to the hospital for a thorough checkup. Now, things get a lot more serious when
00:02:40
there's a burning building with a child trapped inside. There's no time to lose,
00:02:45
and the cop doesn't hesitate. Even a few seconds could cost the child his life. WATCH WATCH YOUR FACE.
00:02:55
RIGHT HERE, BABY. RIGHT HERE, BABY. RIGHT HERE, BABY. COME ON, BABY. WHERE IS HE WHERE DOES HE SLEEP IN
00:03:04
THERE? WHERE does he sleep in there? RIGHT HERE. WHERE is he? He's He's sleeping. His
00:03:10
bed's right here. Wherever he is, grab cuz I don't know where his bed is IN HERE. OWEN!
00:03:17
THE DEPUTY REMAINS calm the whole time while the mother panics. He knows that he needs to stay as relaxed as possible
00:03:23
if they're going to save the child, but he also knows that time is running out. Another deputy arrives, and they work
00:03:29
together to try and find the child. They could hear the boy groaning and coughing, so they knew he was in the
00:03:34
room, but they couldn't figure out exactly where. WHERE ARE YOU AT? GUYS, I CAN'T SEE WHERE HE IS IN THERE.
00:03:48
BUDDY, I NEED YOU TO COME TO the light, man. Where are you at, bud? It's the light,
00:03:52
man. WHERE YOU AT, BUD? There's no way that they could find the child even if they
00:03:58
could get in, so they need the child to come to them. That's the right way. We're going the
00:04:07
other way. What's his name? Right here. RIGHT HERE. RIGHT HERE. COME HERE. GET UP, BUD. WHERE'S HE RIGHT
00:04:20
HERE. AFTER about 3 and 1/2 minutes of urgently calling for Owen, the child finally appeared and the cops
00:04:25
immediately sprung into action and reached into the smoke to pull him to safety. They don't even stop for a
00:04:30
moment to consider their own safety. Their only concern is the child. COME HERE. REACH OUT TO US. KEEP COMING.
00:04:37
COME ON. COME HERE. GIVE ME YOUR HAND. COME ON. COME ON. HEY, BUD. BUDDY, TALK TO ME.
00:05:05
TALK TO ME. HEY. HEY, YOU ALL RIGHT? Just grab an airbag. Just grab an airbag. They're coming.
00:05:17
The child is immediately carried away from the building and given oxygen. He's unresponsive at first, but that's normal
00:05:23
given the horrible ordeal that he's just gone through. The deputies stay with him
00:05:26
until the paramedics took him to the hospital where he made a full recovery thanks to these extremely brave
00:05:31
officers. The fire might have been started from a fire pit that a family member lit before they went inside and
00:05:36
dozed off while the fire was still burning. Eventually, the flames spread and reached the house. Good cops and
00:05:42
quick responses saved this child's life. There's no telling what might have happened if he hadn't located him in
00:05:48
time. Children aren't the only ones who need saving though, and this time the clock is ticking. [music]
00:05:55
44, we got one out. He's having a seizure. We need EMS. 10-18. Two Austin police officers
00:06:01
responded to a call about a truck completely engulfed in flames with someone trapped inside. Obviously, they
00:06:07
had to move quickly before the vehicle completely exploded. Get that extinguisher.
00:06:25
It has to be incredibly hot around the truck, but the cop isn't going to let that stop him.
00:06:40
HEY, MAN. WITH THE DOOR OPEN, ONE OFFICER BEGINS TO PULL the man out of the vehicle while
00:06:49
the other attempts to put out some of the flames around the door. They want as safe [music] an exit as possible for the
00:06:54
man, but they quickly figure out that the fire extinguisher isn't helping. The fire is just too hot and it's completely
00:07:00
enveloped the truck and there's no way they're putting it out. That's hot. Come out.
00:07:07
Come out. Get out. Help me. Help me get him real quick. Come on. Come out. Come on. Come
00:07:13
Pull. Pull. Pull. PULL. PULL. PULL. PULL. COME OUT. THEY MANAGED TO pull the man from the
00:07:19
vehicle and soon realize why he was unresponsive. It's a lot more than just shock.
00:07:26
Turn him over. He's having a seizure. 44, we got one out. He's having a seizure. We need the EMS.
00:07:32
10-18. The seizure changes the situation and the cops immediately call for medics. This is a great example of how
00:07:39
officers have to be be to respond to anything at a moment's notice. They thought they were only dealing with a
00:07:43
car on fire, but now there's a man having a seizure. All they can do is respond in the best way possible and
00:07:48
continue to help the man in any way until the EMTs arrive. We're not We're not going to do anything
00:07:54
with it. Hey, get everyone away from it. Hey, help me put him over there. We'll get away from the fire.
00:08:00
All right, buddy. 2 3 go. You're all right. You're okay, buddy. You're okay, buddy. You're okay.
00:08:13
You're okay. You're good. You're good. A would-be good Samaritan then arrives with another fire
00:08:19
extinguisher, but the officers instruct him to stay away. [music] They don't want to put any more civilians in
00:08:23
danger. The entire time you can see how they put everyone's safety before their own. They are the ones who are trained
00:08:28
for these conditions and it can often make things even more complicated by having a civilian interfere.
00:08:33
Hey, hey, get away from it. It's not going to do nothing. That's not going to do nothing. It's not going to help. Over
00:08:37
here. Get over there. Over there. Ooh. You're okay. You're okay. 44, the vehicle's completely engulfed. EMTs
00:08:44
arrived a few minutes later and the man was taken to the hospital. And just minutes later the vehicle completely
00:08:49
exploded. It seems like the officers got there just in time. But this time instead of technology, it's the forces
00:08:55
of nature that put a time limit on this case. Come on. as they can. Luckily, the
00:08:59
baby was rescued in time and the doctors were able to save it. But sometimes there isn't even time to take someone to
00:09:05
the hospital. Get him on the ground. Sir. He's not breathing. These Florida cops came upon a man
00:09:13
unconscious in a vehicle on the side of the road. By the time they got to him, he was already in bad shape. They didn't
00:09:19
even know what the problem was and there was no time to call for help. They had to act right then. Help me pull him out.
00:09:24
Get him on the ground. Get him on the ground. Sir. What's his medical history? I don't
00:09:35
know. They just picked him up 10 minutes ago. You just picked up? Yeah, he's like, "I need some money. Can you put me
00:09:39
to work?" And I said, "Yeah." He's got a pulse. He's breathing, so The cops have to first figure out what's
00:09:45
going on. The man is barely breathing and totally unresponsive, but that doesn't really narrow it down, and every
00:09:50
second that they waste could mean this man's life. He's not breathing. I don't know if it's
00:09:56
drug-related. Give me your flashlight. I can't see his eyes. Yeah, they're pinpoint. One officer
00:10:06
wonders if it's drug-related. So, they check his eyes and find out that they are pinpoint. This means that his pupils
00:10:12
are very constricted and don't respond to changes in light, which is a clear sign of an overdose. That combined with
00:10:17
the lack of breathing lets the officers know that they're on the right track. So, now that the problem is identified,
00:10:22
they have to move on to fixing it, which is a lot harder than it sounds. Uh go left nostril.
00:10:34
I think it's Narcan. I'll put it in the left nostril. One officer proceeds to rub the man's chest, a method that is
00:10:40
meant to stimulate them awake, while the other administers the Narcan into the man's nostril. Narcan, or naloxone
00:10:46
hydrochloride, is a drug designed to reverse an overdose. The cops are obviously well-trained in responding to
00:10:51
these situations, and they manage to administer the Narcan in less than 2 minutes of being with the man.
00:10:57
so put put it on. There you go. There we go. Hold on. All right, take it off. After the Narcan, the next step is to
00:11:14
stimulate the victim's breathing. The officers accomplish this using an air pump that is specially designed for this
00:11:19
type of situation. Once again, the officers knew exactly what to do. It's amazing how much knowledge they need
00:11:25
just to do their jobs, and use the pump until the paramedics arrived at the scene.
00:11:36
Not a pulse. Barely breathing. He just started to take a breath. There he is. There he is. See that?
00:11:44
Within a few minutes, the man was breathing on his own and doing much better. Thanks to the officer's quick
00:11:49
thinking and excellent training, the man's life was saved. He was already on his last breaths when they got to him,
00:11:54
and he wouldn't have lasted much longer. Now, let's move on to our last case, which might be the most intense of them
00:12:00
all. MJ, CAN YOU HEAR ME? MJ, COME ON, BUDDY. MJ! IT'S THE POLICE. IT'S OKAY, BUDDY. COME
00:12:07
ON. Wisconsin officers responded to a fire and arrived to find a building completely engulfed in flames. As if the
00:12:14
situation wasn't already stressful enough, they were informed that a child was still trapped inside, and there was
00:12:19
no way for the cops to get in. Information about a child trapped. Can you tell me what his location is,
00:12:25
please? Yeah, that's his last name. He's 10 years old. Not trapped. Moving on with his life.
00:12:35
All right. Should be on the 426. Where Where's the kid? Where is the kid? Back bedroom. I tried to smash out the
00:12:43
window. They know the kid was inside, but they don't know where. They do everything
00:12:50
they can to try and find the child, but the flames and smoke make it difficult to see or hear anything. They need to
00:12:56
locate the boy as soon as possible before he passes out from the smoke. If they can't come to them, then they may
00:13:01
never get him out. Oh. Hey, kiddo, you in there? Hello? He's in that straw. Come on. Three weeks he
00:13:08
needs information. Come on. HELLO! [screaming] POLICE! ANYONE IN THERE, BUDDY? COME ON, MAN. WHAT'S THE
00:13:15
KID'S NAME? WHAT'S THE KID'S NAME? MJ. MJ. MJ! HEY, BACK UP. GET OUT OF HERE. BACK UP. CAN YOU HEAR ME? MJ. MJ!
00:13:25
MJ, CAN YOU HEAR ME? MJ, COME ON, BUDDY. MJ! IT'S THE POLICE. IT'S OKAY, BUDDY. COME
00:13:32
ON. MJ! THE child has to be terrified, so the cops hope that hearing his name will make him respond. They're doing
00:13:38
everything they can to let the boy know that they're trying to work to help him,
00:13:42
but nothing seems to be working. The odds are completely against them, but they are determined to save the child.
00:13:48
MJ! OH, HEY. MJ, COME MJ, COME ON, BUDDY. MJ, [laughter] IT'S OKAY, BUDDY. COME ON.
00:13:54
MJ! MJ, COME ON. COME ON. MJ! HEY, DO YOU FEEL OKAY? DO YOU FOLLOW ME? MJ! HEY, YOU'RE RIGHT HERE, BUDDY.
00:14:01
BUDDY, YOU'RE RIGHT THERE. DID YOU get him? Yes, he's right here. Is he down or what? He's right THERE.
00:14:09
HE'S RIGHT THERE. MJ, COME ON. COME HERE. COME ON, BUDDY. YOU CAN HEAR THE TOTAL DESPERATION in
00:14:16
their voices. They are not going to let the child go. They'd never forgive themselves if they didn't get to him.
00:14:22
Finally, realizing that he's going to have to go through the window, one of the officers starts taking off his belt.
00:14:28
They are risking everything for the kid. Take him out that window. I need to break out the glass through
00:14:39
this window. Go for it. Break it. Break it. Break it. BUDDY, WATCH OUT. YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT, DO IT NOW.
00:14:48
MJ! THE OFFICER REACHES THROUGH THE WINDOW, but he still [music] can't get to the
00:14:54
child. The flames make it impossible, and he's not wearing any protective [music] gear. If he goes in, then he
00:15:00
might not come back out. MJ! I need to go left. Go left, go left. MJ, come this way. All right, come on. Come
00:15:07
on. COME ON. HE STILL tries everything he can before a firefighter arrives on scene. Now they
00:15:14
have someone who can go into the building. Watch the fire. I'm going back out. Give me one, give me one. He's down the
00:15:29
hallway on your right. Hallway on your right. Down to the right. His name's MJ. MJ? I don't know. I don't know where he
00:15:34
went. He's trying to get him right now. This kid is old. Get up there, get up there, Harvey. Get
00:15:51
up there. I got him, I got him, I got him. I got him. I got him, I got him. Go up
00:15:56
front, go up front, go up front. The officer wastes no time in getting the child medical help. He seems barely
00:16:02
conscious and needs oxygen as soon as possible. The boy had been in heavy smoke for an extended period of time and
00:16:08
they don't know the full effects yet. Just 5 to 10 minutes of oxygen deprivation due to smoke is known to
00:16:14
cause permanent brain damage. [laughter] [screaming] Off this way. Watch your hose, watch your hose. You're
00:16:30
okay, MJ, buddy. Yeah, he's crying. You're okay, MJ, you're doing good, buddy. Throughout this whole time, you can hear
00:16:38
how much these officers care about the child. They're doing everything in their power to make sure that he's okay. This
00:16:43
is what good cops do. They put the needs of others before their own, just like these officers. Never once did you see
00:16:51
them hesitate or hold back. They did their jobs to the best of their ability. Stop.
00:17:00
Stop. He was just crying. His name is MJ, Michael James or something like that. 3 years old, he's in the back bedroom.
00:17:15
Yep, back bedroom, hallway on all. Thanks to their heroic work along with the fire department, the officers were
00:17:22
able to save the child. Not even a building completely engulfed in flames could stop these hero cops from doing
00:17:29
what they needed to do.
