A South Carolina police officer didn't think twice about his own life when he saw a car on fire while on patrol — and the frightening scene was caught on his dashboard camera.
There have been countless times when cops made headlines for their bravery, like the one who rescued two young women when their car fell into a lake and the one who saved a toddler from choking. Cpl. Adam Willis from the clip below has now certainly been added to the list of courageous officers.
The officer jumped out of his car and ran to the man's car to pull him out. The severity of the fire is clearly shown in the video emphasizing just how dangerous the situation was.
"I saw an arm holding the steering wheel," the officer told ABC News. "I reached in… I thought to myself, 'Please, just be alive.' "
Luckily, the man was responsive and quickly listened to the cop when he told the driver to get out of the car.
"I'm very relieved that neither one of us was injured," said Willis, who has been on the force for 10 years. "I'm just thankful to God for that."
Public Information Officer Chip Googe praised the officer, saying, "It takes a special type of person to run towards danger and not away from it."
