MAGALIA, CA - NOVEMBER 09: A Cal Fire firefighter monitors a burning home as the Camp Fire moves through the area on November 9, 2018 in Magalia, California. Fueled by high winds and low humidity, the rapidly spreading Camp Fire ripped through the town of Paradise and has quickly charred 70,000 acres and has destroyed numerous homes and businesses in a matter of hours. The fire is currently at five percent containment. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)

Talk about an incredible act of heroism!

This happened in Jamestown, New York.

A house was on fire and a police officer is seen through his bodycam footage ushering people out.

At the end of the video, you can see him catching a mother and child from the window.

House Fire July 19 2021

Attached is a portion of Officer Mark Conklin’s Body Worn Camera Footage from a house fire on July 19th, 2021. While handling a call for service on Baker Street, Officer Mark Conklin was alerted to a possible house fire on William Street. Without hesitation, Officer Conklin ran to the scene where he found a house engulfed in flames with children and an adult trapped in the upstairs of the residence. While requesting the Jamestown Fire Department over his radio and standing next to extreme heat, Officer Conklin directed the trapped occupants to jump from the upstairs window and proceeded to catch them. I can say that I have seen many examples of heroism over the years by officers. After watching the video of this incident and speaking to others involved, I can say that the actions of Officer Conklin were, to say the least, one of the most outstanding examples of bravery, heroism, and exemplary service I have seen.We, the Jamestown Police Department, are honored to have officers such as Mark Conklin working in the Jamestown Police Department. Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.A big thank you to the members of the Jamestown NY Fire Department Local 137 for their efforts in fighting the blaze. Chief Tim Jackson
