Officers Christopher Scott (above right) and Michael Welsh were patrolling the neighborhood at about 9 a.m. when they smelled smoke coming from one of the houses, police said. They banged on several doors and were able to reach the people inside and get them out.

As they completed the rescue, the officers noticed a neighboring house that had caught fire as well, they said.  They went into action again, banging on doors and saving the people there.

Both officers were treated for smoke inhalation and Officer Scott was treated for a minor burn to his head.

None of the twelve sustained any injuries.
