Indiana first responders rescue 6, including a baby, from burning building

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Quick thinking police officers rescued six people from a burning house, including a baby.

Early Monday morning, dispatchers got a call about people trapped in a house in Frankfort, Indiana, outside of Lafayette. Flames and heavy smoke trapped people on the second floor.

Officers grabbed a ladder and got people out safely through a window. A person nervously handed over a baby in a car seat and said "please don't drop her."

The officers involved in the rescue will be honored at a later date.
