An Ohio firefighter was captured on film dramatically rescuing an American flag from a Veteran's home that had gone up in flames. 

Allen Skomer, a firefighter from Toledo, was helping his comrades battle a blaze that tore through the home of a Vietnam vet early Friday morning.

Skomer, himself a Navy veteran, noticed the flag while responding to the blaze on Junction Avenue in Toledo, WTOL-TV reported.

‘I was helping one of the rookies throw a stream in between those two structures, to keep that second structure from burning,’ Skomer said.

The fire completely destroyed the home, according to WTOL-TV

‘That's when I noticed the colors waving with the flames behind them.

‘I didn't want to let it burn, so I went and grabbed it.

‘I'm an eight-year veteran of the Navy. It's just a knee-jerk reaction. I didn't want to see the colors go up.

‘I would never knowingly let the flag go up in smoke or be desecrated in front of me if I can help it.’

The owner of the home which caught fire has not been identified, but a friend, Christy Depp, said the flag is important to him.

‘That was a brand-new flag,’ she said.

‘He took the old one down and took it back and they gave him a brand new one.’

Skomer said that moments after he removed the flag, the house caved in on itself.

‘I think shortly after ... the roof became fully involved and it collapsed on itself,’ Skomer said.

‘We were able to save the adjoining structure. So I believe the flag got put back in there so the owner can keep it.

‘Even though he lost his place, the colors he can keep.’

Depp said that the homeowner, whose first name is Bob, is known in the community as a giving man.

‘Bob's a good man to the community, to us. He's a veteran,’ she said.

‘A lot of the homeless that walk up and down the streets, he feeds them.

‘[He] cooks for them and everything and never turned nobody down, nobody down.

Skomer said that moments after he removed the flag, the house caved in on itself. ‘I think shortly after ... the roof became fully involved and it collapsed on itself,’ Skomer said

‘He did a lot for us.’

Sterling Rahe, a spokesperson for the Toledo Fire Department, praised Skomer’s actions.

‘Patriotism is something that I think is overlooked these days,’ Rahe said.

‘That flag is the core symbol of our citizenship and we should be thankful for the freedom and what that flag represents.

‘It’s a proud moment. Respect for the flag runs deep within our department.

‘It’s a great moment for Al to take be able to respect the flag and do what he did.

‘What you saw in that video is who he is.’

Skomer, ...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
