Daniel Rose

Daniel Rose helped rescue a boy from electrocution, Warren, Michigan, August 30, 2022. The boy, 8, grasped with both hands a live power line that had been lowered by storms and suspended about 5 feet above a residential street and was electrocuted. He fell to the pavement. Rose, 43, police officer, who was on duty, drove to the scene after he was notified of the situation. Rose saw the boy, who was unconscious, lying underneath the power line. Rose got down on his hands and knees and crawled underneath the power line and grasped the boy’s left ankle. Another officer crouched underneath the power line and grasped the boy’s other ankle, and the two pulled him about 10 feet away from the power line, at which time Rose felt an electrical charge in his arm and released the boy. The other officer felt a burning sensation to his hand and he, too, released the boy. Rose performed sternum rubs on the boy, who regained consciousness. Rose and other officers transported the boy to a nearby hospital. The boy sustained serious injuries, including burns to both hands. Rose was examined at the hospital and had numbness in his right arm from the electrical shock for a few hours; he recovered.
