Just coming from someone who "once upon a time wanted to do fire rescue" and all.... You legally are NOT allowed to let anyone re-enter a building that is on fire. If he would have allowed him to re-enter and he would have died, the family could have sued the departments for boat loads of money. ( Which most people love to do ) It is a tragic event, and I'll definitely keep this family in my thoughts.... However, the police officer was just doing what he is trained and has to do. He was protecting him from having 2 deaths that day. You are to use any and all force excluding deadly to prevent someone from going into a fire for any reason. Again, this is definitely god awful and so sad... However, officer was just doing what he is trained to do. He could have got fired and prosecuted for wrongful death had he let him back in.
