New York cops risk their lives every day to protect the rest of us, but some heroism is more obvious.<\/p>\n
Several officers on Thursday rushed back into a building where they\u2019d been injured in a massive explosion to get civilians out to safety.<\/p>\n
Police were at a home\u2019s front door, responding to a 911 call of a domestic dispute involving a man with a knife and perhaps flammable liquid, when a sudden explosion threw several <\/a>of them off their feet and into a gate.<\/p>\n Undeterred, the cops got right back up \u2014 despite their injuries and lack of fire-protection gear \u2014 and headed straight into the home to save residents, even as the flames grew more intense.<\/p>\n Thankfully, they managed to find several kids and adults and help them to safety. <\/p>\n If that\u2019s not worth cheering, nothing is.<\/p>\n \t\t\tMore From\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPost Editorial Board<\/p>\n The fire, by the way, turned into a five-alarmer \u2014 yet all of the residents were accounted for; several were hospitalized, but all are safe. <\/p>\n The cops were treated for minor burns; one had a head laceration requiring stitches.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tGet opinions and commentary from our columnists\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSubscribe to our daily Post Opinion newsletter!\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tThanks for signing up!\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \u201cWith no clear sense of what they were walking into,\u201d tweeted Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch<\/a>, the heroes \u201cmade the decision to keep moving forward. Their focus stayed exactly where it needed to be: on the people inside, on getting those children out, and on making sure that situation didn\u2019t claim innocent lives.\u201d<\/p>\n City cops take a lot of abuse from left-wing haters. <\/p>\n
