Justin Caruso and Officers Wesley Panckeri and Marc Kramer responded to a welfare check, police said, where they encountered an uncooperative man experiencing a mental health crisis. He made multiple threats to harm officers if they attempted to enter the bedroom, according to police. The officers attempted to talk to the man, but a short while after communication ceased, they saw smoke coming from the bedroom, according to police.

The officers found the man armed with a knife, and after safely subduing him, they removed him from the burning room, according to police.
