Ottawa Fire Services are thanking an Ottawa police constable who ran into a house filling with smoke to rescue a small child from the basement on Monday evening.
Around 8 p.m., while responding to an unrelated call, police noticed black smoke coming from a home on Irma Private. A mother was outside with her two children, and notified the constable of a third child who was still in the basement. While officers helped the mom and kids outside, the constable stormed into the house and was able to get the final child out.
“It’s not an everyday thing, and we thank the person for stepping up before the (fire) crew arrived,” said Danielle Cardinal, the fire service’s spokeswoman.
In a statement, Ottawa fire called the act “brave and courageous.”
Cardinal said the fire started in the kitchen, and caused roughly $40,000 in damage to the home. Two adults and three children were displaced. Everyone was uninjured.
While police do not carry self-contained breathing apparatuses like firefighters do, according to Insp. Sean McDade, they are issued gas masks.
Ottawa police declined to give out the name of the constable, saying they were waiting for his permission to do so.
