州巡警冲入火场救人：明尼阿波利斯民宅凌晨失火 三名住户获救、一人重伤
10 月 8 日凌晨，明尼阿波利斯苏厄德（Seward）社区一栋民宅失火，一名明尼苏达州巡警在消防员赶到之前冲进火场，先行救出两名住户，成为这起火灾中最关键的一幕。
明尼阿波利斯消防局说，凌晨 1 点前，消防队接到报警：位于南 29 大道、靠近河滨大道与东富兰克林大道一带的民宅起火，火情最初正是由这名州巡警发现并报告的。巡警在消防车抵达前进入屋内，救出两名住户，但还有一人被困。消防员到场后把第三名住户从屋里拉出，该住户伤势危重，被送往医院抢救；先获救的两人因吸入浓烟入院，情况稳定。巡警本人也吸入浓烟，但未住院。消防员还在现场救活了一只猫。
消防局助理局长梅兰妮·拉克（Melanie Rucker）表示，消防部门向受伤住户和这位在消防队到达前勇敢进屋的州巡警致意，认为巡警的行动与消防、医疗团队的快速协作避免了更严重的后果。消防局称这栋房屋已经无法居住，起火原因仍在调查中。
State Trooper Runs Into Burning Minneapolis Home, Rescues Residents Before Fire Crews Arrive
A Minnesota State Patrol trooper ran into a burning Minneapolis home in the early hours of October 8 and rescued two residents before firefighters arrived, according to the Minneapolis Fire Department. Crews were called just before 1 a.m. to the home off 29th Avenue South near Riverside and East Franklin avenues in the Seward neighborhood, after the trooper reported the fire. The trooper got two residents out, but a third was still trapped inside. Firefighters pulled that resident from the home; the person was taken to a hospital in critical condition. The other two residents were hospitalized for smoke inhalation in stable condition, and the trooper was also treated for smoke inhalation without being hospitalized. Firefighters also rescued and revived a cat at the scene. Assistant Chief Melanie Rucker said the department's thoughts are with the injured residents and with the trooper who entered the home before crews arrived, crediting those actions and the rapid, coordinated response with preventing an even more devastating outcome. The home is now uninhabitable, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
