An Arapahoe County sheriff’s deputy on Tuesday night entered an RV that was on fire to rescue several dogs that were trapped in the burning residence.
At about 7:15 p.m. Tuesday, Deputy Nicholas Collins and his partner, Zach Newell, pulled up to the RV and saw heavy smoke streaming from the mobile home trailer in the 900 block of Perth Street in unincorporated Arapahoe County. The resident of the trailer was at work and was not home at the time.
Collins attempted to go into the RV, but the smoke wouldn’t allow it and he couldn’t breath. Collins ran back to his patrol car to grab a gas mask.Meanwhile, Newell rescued a dog, a husky, who had its head out a window and was struggling for air. Newell pulled the dog to safety from the window. Collins, who has been with the sheriff’s office since June 2020, has a dog of his own: a 5-year-old German Shepherd named Apollo. He’s had the dog since it was 10 weeks old.
Chief Rich Solomon, of Sable Altura Fire Rescue, was on scene Tuesday night. Firefighters arrived after the deputies, who had been close by on a prior call.
