Bull sh*t...I personally ran into a nearly fully involved house fire when I was 20 years old, as the "First responders" just arrived and I grabbed an elderly women who was still collecting things to save and somewhat forcibly walked/pushed her out.
Stop with that BS.
I get it. If there’s a small chance to save the kid...take it. If the place is an inferno and it’s suicide by hysteria ...stop the guy
