Buffalo Grove firefighter/paramedic Adam Schroeder is being lauded for rescuing a dog from a burning Round Lake home last week while he was off-duty.
That was the case last week, when Buffalo Grove firefighter/paramedic Adam Schroeder's dedication led him to rescue a German shepherd trapped in a burning home.
"I saw a little bit of smoke from a house," said Schroeder, who's been with the Buffalo Grove department for about three years."I made a U-turn, pulled in the driveway, called 911 and told them I was on the scene of a house fire."As police began arriving, Schroeder kicked down the door, allowing the dog to escape. The dog, he noted, was a bit excited and"wasn't thrilled with a bunch of people being on his property.
"The owner came to the scene while we were still there. He came back from Chicago and was able to take custody of the dog. His dog was perfectly fine," he said. "There was pretty significant damage to the kitchen and the adjacent room," Lescher said."But the house is still standing, and they will be able to repair it."
