Cpl. Drew Reed and Officer Steven Folkers traveled to Grady Hospital in Atlanta to check on Jeremiah Williams, age 7. The child was one of nine people inside a house that caught fire on Banks Street Saturday. When the officers arrived at the scene around 1:30 a.m., the other occupants had managed to get out of the house, but Jeremiah was trapped inside.
Reed and Folkers managed to pull the boy from a window of the burning house.
"Those officers made that split-second decision to put their lives at risk and save the child," said Cpl. Kevin Holbroook, a Gainesville Police Department spokesman.
Jeremiah, who is a student at White Sulphur Elementary School, remains at Gradh Hospital, being treated for burns to his face and head.
