I follow the Gray path of Jediism, so I focus less on "light" and "dark" and instead focus moreso on logical and objective decision making.
You would probably run into a burning, crumbling building, risking your ability to ever save anyone ever again, in situations as dire as this one and in safer ones as well, in the hopes of
maybe saving someone who may have already lost a limb, breathed enough smoke, or lost enough blood to maybe not survive the night even if you
do get them out (and yourself, if luck will have it so) while they are still alive, and who - for all you know - might well be one of those pedophiles you'd also probably work toward the demise of rather than anything else, let alone putting yourself at risk...
I'm not judging you for either your feelings towards those who are tempted to do harm to the innocent, nor for your otherwise heroic spirit. My intent at current is only to say, that mayhaps this is neither about light, nor about darkness, nor logic, nor objectivity. Even consistency I'd hesitate to assign to it, respectable though it may be, to some extent, or to another.
