— Ivan Soto’s home was engulfed by flames, but the police officer was too busy helping other residents evacuate after a series of natural gas explosions to worry about his own loss. After making sure his family was safe, the Lawrence officer rushed back out to help others — and stayed on the job even after his bosses told him to leave. She ran across the street to the home of Christel and James Nazario and was crying hysterically, Christel Nazario said. The rookie officer and his wife have two daughters, ages 13 and 15, the newspaper said. There was no sign of Soto or the family Friday, though a large police and fire presence remained.
