She Saved Four People And Three Dogs Today, What Did You Do?

CHICAGO (CBS) -- If it's all in a day's work, it was a remarkable one for a Chicago Police officer.

CBS 2's Brad Edwards spoke with Officer Jennifer Jacobucci, who saved four people and three dogs from a house fire.

She saw smoke and went to work; the home was engulfed in flames.

"I was yelling, 'police, fire' everybody out!" she said. She went room-by-room, pulling people and pets out to safety.

Sydney, an Australian shepherd, was especially lucky.

She exhausted now. CPR saved her life.

"I was just doing my job," said Jacobucci.

Officer Jacobucci did suffer smoke inhalation but was treated and back at work Tuesday night.
