An Indiana Conservation Officer (ICO) is being credited with saving a life after helping rescue a woman from a house fire.
On Aug. 26 at 12:20 p.m., ICO Kendrick Fuhrman was on patrol when he responded to a call of a house fire in the 800 block of High Street in the town of Shoals. One of the first to arrive on scene, he was told by bystanders that people were still inside the home.
Fuhrman entered the burning home and located a male and a female occupant. The female needed help getting out of the home, and Fuhrman and the male assisted her as all exited before flames engulfed the house.
After ensuring the occupants were a safe distance from the house, Fuhrman helped the Shoals Volunteer Fire Department with trying to get the blaze under control.
Other agencies responding to the scene included Medic One, Martin County Sheriff’s Department, Duke Energy, and Martin County Civil Defense Fire Department.
