00:00This video was captured on the body cam of a Frankfort, Indiana police officer
00:04who was responding to the scene of a fire.
00:07The shaky video shows the officers arriving at the location where a family of six,
00:11including a baby, were trapped on the second floor of a house by the flames and smoke below.
00:16Luckily, one of the officers finds a nearby ladder, and they begin to ascend and rescue.
00:22Can I have your kid? Can I have your baby?
00:24Just give me the car seat. She's good.
00:27It's fine.
00:27You can hear the mother of the child pleading with the officer to be careful, before handing her over.
00:33Please don't drop her.
00:34I won't. I got her.
00:36Shortly after, the rest were aided out the window and were able to descend the ladder and get out of
00:41harm's way.
00:41The Frankfort Police Department said in a statement that all family members exited the burning building safely,
00:47and the officers involved are now set to be awarded medals for their heroism.
00:51With police captain Evan Hall saying about his recommendation to award all officers involved the Medal of Valor,
00:56They all showed an extraordinary act of bravery by removing a total of six occupants out to safety under extreme
01:02stress and life-threatening conditions.
