ARCHIVED - Heroic Murcia cops rescue child, pregnant woman and two others from house inferno
The blaze broke out at a property in the Los Dolores neighbourhood, Murcia city
Four people, including a child and a pregnant woman, were saved from a home blaze in Murcia city by two heroic plainclothes cops in an unmarked police car on Wednesday afternoon.
The officers were in the Los Dolores neghbourhood when they spotted flames coming from a property in Calle Herederos.
They immediately jumped into action, calling the fire service and checking if there was anybody inside the property.
On seeing that debris was falling from the exterior of the building, and nobody was answering their frantic knocks on the door, the two officers placed their car under the first floor balcony, and climbed onto it where they could see a man, a woman and a young girl.
They managed to get them to safety via the balcony, only to be told there was another person inside.

By now, flames had made the area through which they had managed to rescue the couple and child unaccessible. So, faced with the rapid advance of the fire, they ran to the back of the property, where they found a pregnant woman trapped.
With the help of a neighbour, who lent them a ladder, the police officers were able to climb up and save the woman.
It took 14 firefighters to extinguish the flames, but thankfully, only one of the rescued occupants, the man, was injured and taken to a nearby hospital for burns to his back.
