EWING, N.J. — We are hearing from a New Jersey police officer who risked her own life to save a dog trapped in a burning home. But that courageous decision came with a cost.
Ewing Township Police Detective Julia Caldwell was on patrol at an elementary school Thursday morning, June 2, when she heard the radio call of a house fire a block away and went to see if she could help.VIDEO: 73-Year-Old Man Dies After Group Of 7 Teens Brutally Attack Him In North PhiladelphiaThat’s when a neighbor told Caldwell, who owns two dogs herself, that a dog was still in the house.Her instincts took over. A colleague helped her get up to the window and in the house she went.
“The body camera only shows like the visual but the intensity of the heat, it was like 30 hairdryers pumping at your face at the same time,” Caldwell said. That heat, the fumes and the gases in the air, also made her eyes burn, making it extremely difficult to see.Fearing she might get bitten, she wrapped the dog in the blanket she discovered and made her way back to the window and outside.“I could hear myself talking very distortedly,” Caldwell said.“I woke up 26 hours later very confused,” Caldwell said.She now has a form of reactive airway disease. Her new reality involves daily medication and no taxing workouts, which she loves to do.
Caldwell says she’s deeply touched by the level of support she’s received following the rescue and that she’s humbled by all the attention she’s received.She says when she took the oath to protect and serve it was for all living beings, not just humans.
