Summary
Bodycam footage from the June 7 blaze shows St. George officers pounding on doors, carrying children out and using a ladder to pull a man from a burning second-floor apartment.
The fire started in one unit and spread through a shared attic, ultimately destroying or damaging 20 apartments and triggering at least one explosion and a roof collapse heard on video.
Eight responding officers were taken to a hospital for smoke inhalation treatment and have all since been released.
The footage captures how quickly sleeping residents had to be roused and evacuated as the overnight fire tore through the Utah apartment complex.
