A Franklin County Sheriff’s Office deputy recently rescued a man and his dog from a burning home on Friday, March 14.
According to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, while on routine patrol, the deputy spotted heavy smoke and flames near a residential area in the county and turned around to investigate further.
The deputy then discovered that the front of the residence was fully engulfed in flames, and after assessing the situation, the deputy located a neighbor and inquired whether anyone was home.
The neighbor was unsure, so the deputy entered the home through an unlocked back door and called for anyone inside.
A male resident, who was in the shower at the time and unaware of the blaze, emerged from the back of the house before the deputy led the man to safety.
The deputy then found a small dog kennel inside and safely released the pet outside, unharmed.
