Fire at the Holiday Inn Express in Doncaster, South Yorks. // This is the dramatic moment two hero police officers rushed into a burning hotel to help extinguish the flames and save terrified guests. PC Warren Crowcroft and PC Rowan Burnett sprang into action after the blaze broke out at the Holiday Inn Express in Doncaster, South Yorks. Body-worn cameras captured PC Burnett kicking open a door to reveal the devastating inferno as it tore through one of the hotel's bedrooms. PC Crowcroft can then be heard calling down on his police radio for the fire brigade, explaining there is a 'huge fire' inside the room, as thick plumes of smoke quickly fill the corridors. A hotel staff member also shouts 'we have got a serious fire' as the intense heat and flames prevent them from opening the door any further. PC Crowcroft then attempts to douse the blaze with multiple fire extinguishers by shoving the nozzle through a gap in the door. Terrified guests can be seen running out of their rooms and towards fire exits as the officers helped to evacuate the hotel.
