PC Brown rescued the man from the fire and suffered smoke inhalation during the incident
A response officer has opened up about the moment she entered a burning building to save a disabled man's life. On April 10, 2023, Police Constable Anya Brown was on patrol in Retford when she was called to a flat fire on Springfield Road.
“I managed to gain access to the flat and drag the man to the doorway. I then went back into the flat in a bid to put out the fire, however it was too established and the heat too intense."I decided to try control the fire by sealing it in another room as much as I could, but there wasn’t time to reflect and my instinct to preserve life was paramount.” She suffered smoke inhalation and needed hospital treatment after the rescue.
"It is one of reasons why I joined the force and I really don’t think you can beat it. On response you go to a wide range of incidents and you never know what you will be called to next.
