LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Newly released body-worn camera footage shared by the Louisville Metro Police Department in Kentucky shows officers rescuing a woman trapped on the second floor of a burning building last month.
Police said they were notified of a structure fire that was "rapidly" engulfing a house in September. When five officers realized a woman was trapped on the second floor roof, they encouraged her to jump to them.
