PALM COAST, Fla. - Flagler County sheriff's deputies rescued a homeowner from a burning Palm Coast residence after responding to reports of smoke coming from the house, authorities said.

Deputies were dispatched July 29 to a home on Westmoreland Drive after a passing driver reported smoke coming from the residence.
Arriving before firefighters, deputies encountered thick black smoke pouring from the front door and heard someone inside calling for help.

Body camera video shows deputies locating the homeowner on a back patio, trapped beneath a pile of belongings and unable to move as flames closed in. Two deputies helped lift the man to safety while another used a fire extinguisher from a patrol vehicle to keep the flames from spreading until firefighters arrived.

The homeowner was safely evacuated, and crews from the Palm Coast Fire Department and Flagler County Fire Rescue extinguished the fire.

@Bellybutton It does look funny. Maybe he wants some of that sweet, sweet insurance money to upgrade his kitchen.

A liberal demand that rich people paid a fair share to be able to put out the fire rescue the homeowner

Was there an explosion? Why is everything thrown all around, and why is he laying on the ground outside? I hope he has good homeowner's insurance. This is gunna be expensive.
