Bodycam Video Shows Coordinated Rescue From Southgate Senior Home Fire With Zero Fatalities

Bodycam footage released by police highlights a coordinated rescue that left all residents alive.

Overview

  • Newly released videos from Southgate, Wyandotte, and Michigan State Police show officers going door to door, carrying and guiding seniors through smoke-filled hallways.
  • Authorities said 39 officers from 11 law enforcement agencies and dozens of firefighters took part in the evacuation, with some responders entering without full protective gear.
  • The building on Allen Road remains heavily damaged, vacant, and largely inaccessible after flare-ups over the weekend as investigators continue to examine the cause.
  • Wyandotte police recognized five officers — Cade Kegley, Kyle Cox, Shane O'Meara, Connor Harris, and Jonathan Rasmussen — for their actions during the rescue.
  • American House is relocating residents with help from the Red Cross, and Southgate set up a donation portal and a resource fair at the Southgate Senior Center to replace documents and connect services.
