A Suffolk County Police Officer beat back intense flames and heavy smoke to save the lives of three dogs trapped inside a burning home in Rocky Point.
Seventh Precinct Officer Matthew Ingui responded to a 911 call reporting a house fire, located at 181 Magnolia Drive, and saw three dogs through the window of the burning home.
Officer Ingui smashed the window of the home and was able to pull the three dogs to safety. No one was home at the time of the blaze. No one was hurt.
Several fire departments, including Rocky Point, Ridge, Sound Beach, Miller Place and Wading River all responded to the scene. The cause of the fire is believed to be non-criminal.
