Deputy Todd Frank was sitting in his cruiser filling out a report in the North Park lot on July 22, 2017, when a woman came running up to his cruiser yelling that there was a fire in a trailer in Cedar Springs Mobile Estates (which abuts the parking lot he was in) and that people were still inside. Deputy Frank ran towards the area and could see smoke coming from the area. He alerted dispatch to send the fire department. Deputy Frank said it was chaotic when he arrived. “I started herding people together as swiftly as I could. It was a family of five, including a newborn,” explained Deputy Frank. A woman was trying to go back in the back door and there was heavy smoke rolling out. I grabbed her and told her she couldn’t go back in. She said her 11-year-old son was in there.” The boy had reportedly been outside but gone back in to get a pet. Deputy Frank went to the front door to try to get in, but a sofa was blocking his way. “The fire had started in the air conditioner, which caught the curtains on fire, then spread to the sofa, and they had tried to throw the sofa out the front door but it got stuck,” he explained. Deputy Frank then found a window and smashed it and began yelling for the boy. He saw the boy run past then disappear in the smoke. “He was scared. I was afraid he was going to get smoke inhalation,” remarked Frank. When the boy ran by again, Deputy Frank reached inside and grabbed him and pulled him outside. “I did what any deputy would do under those circumstances,” he said. “Any of us would do the same thing.”
