On February 9, 2022, NLCRPD responded to the 300 Block of Meadow Valley Road for the report of a house fire. On scene Officers confirmed that there was an active fire in the home and a male juvenile appeared trapped on the second floor. The juvenile was able to escape the home by through a second-floor window.
A NLCRPD Officer and a member of Rothsville EMS assisted the juvenile as he escaped the house fire and exited the second-floor window. While attempting to help the juvenile escape from the second floor, the men subsequently fell into a first-floor glass window resulting in a minor injury to the officer. Both the juvenile and NLCRPD officer were transported to the hospital for evaluation and treatment associated with smoke inhalation and laceration(s) sustained from the glass window.
The NLCRPD officer was treated and released. No other injuries were reported.
Rothsville, Brunnerville, and Lititz Fire Companies extinguished the fire. Cause of the fire is under investigation by the Fire Marshal.
