HOUSTON — A firefighter was caught on Skyeye HD being knocked to the ground while tackling a house fire in southeast Houston.
The fire is believed to have been smoldering before it finally erupted into flames that shot through windows and the roof of the small home. The family wasn’t home at the time. Neighbors called the fire department.
“We were just right here and I called my mom,” said neighbor Franciso Peneda. “She quickly ran out and tried to start helping, but there was nothing you could do.” The fire trucks arrived and three firefighters broke through the front door. The first one through was Gabriel Salazar. He was suddenly separated from those behind him when the door slammed.
