Kenosha police officers and a brave passerby saved a man in a wheelchair from a burning building Thursday night. Kenosha police Officer Danielle Moore's body camera captured her running toward the house engulfed in flames near 69th Street and 57th Avenue just before 9 p.m. A man outside the home told her that there are still people inside the attached garage. "We got people that need help," the man, a resident of the home, said. Moore runs in and finds a man on the ground trying to get into a wheelchair. Next to him is Ellie Serrano, who was driving by and saw the fire, then ran into the building to help. "I pulled out the first guy — pulled him all the way out of the garage. And then, Officer Moore showed up as I was trying to get the second guy into the wheelchair," Serrano said. The two women were battling intense heat and choking on smoke.
