Maybe he wanted to get his wife out first and go retrieved the son...
If people want to second guess the crap out of emergency personnel then lets second guess the parents as well who probably had 10 minutes to save their son.
Again why did they leave the house before getting their son if they were so concerned. Not only did they have five minutes after making the call. They had probably several minutes before they exited the house and several minutes after exiting before placing the call. At least 10 minutes once they woke up noticed the smoke/fire and emergency personnel showed up.
I don't know why people here are rewriting this story and making sh#t up to fill in the gaps. We have no idea how much time they had. Parents escaped thru the backdoor, police arrive, and wait for firefighters - while they wait the father tries to go in the front door to get his son. That's what we know.
There is nothing illegal about putting yourself in harms way to save another, and there shouldn't be.

I know based on experience probably how much time they had. Where did I state that there was something illegal about putting yourself in harms way. Your problem is your letting emotion cloud your mental field of view.
Why did the PARENTS wait to be concerned about their son:
1)After they exited the house
2)After they called 911
3)After emergency personnel showed up and it was determined anyone else going in the house would die as well.
YOU want to second guess and fill in the gaps when it comes to the Emergency personnel's reactions but not the P-A-R-E-N-T-S?
Fire fighting training is key. Looking at the photo of the dwelling, that place was already a fire trap. Place like that means the fire spreads quickly. It also means the kid was probably already dead from the smoke. In fire, you must fight against your natural responses. If you don't have protective gear, don't go back in to try to rescue someone. With Navy engine room fire fighting training, they taught us if fighting a fire and you're backing out to the escape shaft, don't go if you see someone down. You'll just add another body for the fire fighting team to trip over. Once the fire spread, the structure is weakened and the father could have been killed by smoke, flames, and or second floor collapse.
I guess I don't get this whole story, because I don't care how much smoke or fire there is, I would NEVER leave my house in an emergency without my kids. I would die in there first.
He could have gone back in BEFORE the police arrived.
What is the rest of the story here?
