Dramatic images from a devastating house fire show first responders putting their lives at risk to save young children from the blaze.

This weekend, a terrible fire ripped through a home that was being occupied by three adults and three children. Reports say the fire may have been ignited by powerlines brought down by strong winds that blew through the Hudson Valley on Saturday.

Three local police officers were first to respond to the horrific fire. They immediately sprung into action and raced towards the fire to rescue the small children and bring them to safety.

The flames were so intense that according to News 12, a motorcycle parked in the driveway exploded from the heat. The home on Rosetown Road in Tompkins Cove was completely destroyed by the blaze.
