A veteran Wellesley police officer just weeks from retirement was on his way to a traffic detail Monday afternoon when he discovered a house burning and dashed in to search for people amid flames and heavy smoke.
Rick Weaver, 62, noticed an orange glow in the sky at about 3:57 p.m., according to a police statement. When he went to investigate, he saw flames shooting out of the first floor of a ranch house at the end of Ashmont Road, a dead-end street near the Needham line.

Of course no comments for brave actions of a near to be retired cop. If he was having a cup of coffee on a detail....now that's another story. Good job officer, stay safe, enjoy your retirement. Some of us appreciate the work you do.
