'Heroic' Bucks Co. Police Officer Who Rescued 8 Now Raising Funds For Them

PENNDEL BOROUGH, PA — The "heroic" police officer who ran into a burning home and saved the lives of eight people has now started a fundraiser to help the residents get back on their feet.

Borough Police Officer Sean Peck has launched a GoFundMe page to help a family who lost everything in the devastating Woodland Avenue house fire earlier this month.

Police Chief Sean Perry said that Peck "immediately jumped into action." Perry said Peck showed "exceptional bravery and decisive actions," saying his immediate response "prevented what could have been a tragic loss of life."

"We were able to help bring the family members to safety, but the home was destroyed, and the family is now facing the overwhelming task of rebuilding their lives from scratch," Peck said.

The GoFundMe page has raised over $5,000 of its $35,000 goal.

The family is currently displaced and in immediate need of support for essentials: Clothing, food, temporary housing, and the basic items that make daily life possible.

"No family should have to shoulder this alone, especially right before the holidays," Peck said.

"Your generosity will go directly toward helping them stabilize, recover, and begin the long process of rebuilding after this traumatic event," Peck said. "Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference. Thank you for your kindness and willingness to help this family during such an unimaginable time."
