BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) – Authorities say three Burlington police officers rescued an unconscious man whose house was burning. The officers were patrolling nearby when the blaze was reported a little before 4 a.m. Thursday. Authorities say the officers used a neighbor’s ladder to climb up 8 feet to a bedroom window, break it and then get the man out to safety. He was treated at the scene and then taken to a hospital. A dog inside the house was able to run out the front door. The names of those involved haven’t been released. The fire cause is being investigated.
