Anyone see the dash cam video today of the two officers pulling a man from a burning vehicle. The car looks to be nearly fully engulfed, both officers go to the drivers door, wrench it open (it has to be scalding) and after some seconds manage to wrench the man free. You can see the mans legs on fire. It sounds like one, or both, officers yell in pain from the flames and heat as they are dragging the man out. One officer is coughing and nearly overcome by the smoke inhalation.
Its nice to see something like this make the news. It was on CNN Headline News. I will try to post a link to the video.
