Body-worn camera footage shows a King County Sheriff's deputy smashing through a front door and carrying three young girls out of a smoke-filled home after deputies were called to help with a fire, according to video released by the sheriff's office. In the clip, deputies rush the children outside as firefighters roll up to tackle the blaze. The girls' father is arrested at the scene, the post notes.
The sheriff's office shared the video on July 10, writing, "It started as a call to assist with a fire," and identifying one of the responding deputies as David Rose. The post also states that the girls' father was taken into custody. Those details come from the King County Sheriff's Office. The post does not list any charges or name the children.
What the video shows
The raw bodycam footage follows deputies as they force the front door and move through a smoky interior toward the sound of children. One deputy is seen carrying a child in his arms while another follows close behind with two more, hustling them outside where firefighters and medics are waiting.
Once outside, first responders begin checking the girls and securing the scene. The video is brief and tightly edited, offering only a slice of what happened before and after the rescue. Key details, including whether anyone was injured, are not clear from the clip.
Arrest and next steps
According to the sheriff's social media post, the girls' father was arrested at the scene. The office did not specify what he was arrested for or which agency might ultimately handle the case.
In King County, filing criminal charges typically falls to the local prosecutor, and arrest referrals are reviewed by the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office before any charges are formally brought.
How this fits a pattern
Videos of deputies sprinting into burning buildings or chaotic emergency scenes have been circulating frequently in recent months. In an earlier incident, a King County sergeant ran into an Auburn mobile home and helped several people escape a fire, an episode that drew coverage from FOX 13 Seattle. That case highlighted how deputies sometimes end up acting as the first rescuers on scene when they arrive ahead of fire crews.
For the July 10 rescue, the sheriff's Facebook post remains the main public account. The office has not released a fuller written statement naming a suspect or detailing potential charges. Officials have indicated they will release further information through official channels if and when prosecutors act on the case.
