On Sunday, May 26, 2024, at 12:58 AM, Officer Riley Flynn was patrolling in the 800 block of north Maryland Avenue when he observed a commotion outside of a residence. Upon investigating further, he noticed smoke coming from a residence, and a person handing out of a second-floor window. Officer Flynn quickly learned that there was a fire. He kicked in the front door and made entry into the smoke-filled resi-dence. He made his way to the second floor where he contacted the 17-year-old female that was at the window and led her outside to safety. Officer Flynn re-entered the residence to help locate the family's pets including three dogs and one cat. He safely rescued the cats and dogs from the residence.
