MI Chief Lauds Crew for Saving Woman

Pennfield Township Chief Tim Smith said the firefighters "made a difference to that lady's future."

Firefighters from Pennfield Township entered a burning motel room to rescue a woman this past weekend.

The victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to WZZM.

Pennfield Township Fire Chief Tim Smith told reporters: "When you got life safety like that, you know the initial guys are not going to come in there and stand there, they're gonna go do what they're going to do to sustain that life and I really feel that the crew went in there and made a difference to that lady's future."

Others who were staying at the Michigan motel were sent to a nearby hotel.
