Teen Rescued from House Fire by Lee County Deputies in Beauregard
URGENT UPDATE: A heroic rescue unfolded in Beauregard, Alabama, where quick-thinking deputies from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office saved a teenager’s life during a devastating house fire. The incident occurred just after 4 PM on October 13, 2025, when a frantic 911 call reported a fire on Lee County Road 41.
According to officials, the homeowner had briefly left the kitchen to use the bathroom, only to return and discover flames engulfing the area. In response, two deputies swiftly arrived at the scene, entering the smoke-filled home despite the hazardous conditions. They crouched low and searched desperately for any occupants, ultimately discovering a 16-year-old girl unconscious on the floor, suffering from smoke inhalation.
The deputies acted quickly, carrying her out to safety in the front yard. They performed emergency measures until an ambulance arrived to transport her to the hospital. It was later confirmed that she was experiencing symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. Thankfully, she has since been released from medical care, a testament to the deputies’ decisive actions.
The fire, which caused significant damage to the home’s floor and walls, was extinguished by the Beauregard Volunteer Fire Department.

commented Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones.
This incident highlights the critical role that law enforcement and emergency services play in protecting the community. Sheriff Jones further emphasized that the courage displayed during this rescue reflects the unwavering commitment of all local agencies, including volunteer fire departments and EMS services, dedicated to serving the citizens of Lee County.
As investigations continue into the cause of the fire, officials urge residents to ensure their smoke detectors are operational and to be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story and the ongoing response from local authorities.
