Cop takes down locked door with single kick to search burning home

Bodycam footage shows the moment a cop broke down a locked door with a single kick as fire spread through a property in Centennial, Colorado.

Video shared by Arapahoe Sheriff’s Office shows Deputy Ligon, a School Resource Officer, running towards the burning building. A neighbor holding up a chair to bust through the window tells him that the door won’t budge. “Hold on, watch out,” Deputy Ligon tells him.

After kicking the door open in one attempt, the cop runs to the backyard to help find a dog that was hiding under a trampoline.

Authorities confirmed that two properties were destroyed in the fire on April 20. Nobody was injured.
