During an afternoon that could have ended tragically, two National Police officers, Jesús and Pedro, demonstrated their bravery and commitment by saving the lives of two men during a fire in Parla. The alarm was triggered when a neighbor alerted emergency services about a possible fire with people trapped inside.
«That day I was sleeping in my room, watching a movie with the door closed. Suddenly, they opened the door and told me it was the police, that there was a fire,» Jose, one of the victims tells us. Thanks to the quick intervention of the officers, they managed to escape the danger.
The situation was critical. Upon arrival, the police found the kitchen in flames and smoke filling the house. «If it weren’t for those officers, we wouldn’t have known. Thanks to them, thanks to the National Police here in Parla, we made it out safely,» adds Jose gratefully.

The officers describe how they acted swiftly after receiving the emergency call. «We were on routine patrol and were fortunate that it happened relatively close to us. We noticed a strong smell of burning and smoke coming out of the windows,» one of them explains. With determination, they managed to open the apartment door and found Jose lying on the bed and another unconscious man in the living room.
With great courage and using a sweater to protect themselves from the smoke, the officers managed to drag both men to safety. Apparently, a forgotten pot on the stove was the cause of the intense smoke that nearly cost them their lives.

A team from Madrid Directo was present at the emotional reunion between Jose and his saviors. Hugs and tears of emotion as they recalled the critical moment. «If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t be here telling the story,» Jose concludes, expressing his gratitude towards the two heroes who made this happy ending possible.
With this story, Parla can be proud to have such dedicated officers who risked their own safety to save lives. A story that highlights not only the valor of these police officers but also the importance of teamwork and solidarity in critical moments.
