Beaumont, Texas — On Tuesday, September 10, 2024, at 1:49 a.m., the Vidor Police Department Dispatch Center received a call of a residential fire in the 900 block of Pin Oak, Vidor, Texas with possible children entrapped in the residence. Officers went immediately enroute to the structure fire. The first officer on-scene found the structure fully engulfed. The mother advised that her children were in the front room. Officer Stephenson immediately began to push and pull on a window air conditioning unit that was in the exterior window of the room the children were supposedly in. Officer Stephenson was able to dislodge the Window A/C unit to gain access to the room and children. Officer Stephenson, with the assistance of Officer Moss, was able to reach through the window and remove a 7-year-old and 9-year-old child. Within a minute of the removal of the children the room that the children were in had flames exiting the window. Both children were transported by Acadian Ambulance Service to Christus St. Elizabeth ER for smoke inhalation.
