A Florida deputy heroically rescued an unconscious woman from a house fire on Sunday, an incident captured on his body camera.
Deputy Austin Graham of the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office responded to emergency reports of a fire, where his body camera recorded him breaking into the burning residence.
Inside, he discovered the woman lying unconscious in a hallway. Without hesitation, Graham lifted her and swiftly carried her out to safety.
“Come on, ma’am, I got you,” Graham is heard reassuring the woman in the dramatic footage.
Once outside, another deputy assisted Graham in moving the woman further from danger. She was subsequently taken to a nearby hospital in serious condition but is expected to fully recover.
Deputy Graham received on-site treatment for smoke inhalation but did not need to be hospitalized.
“Great news: At last update, she was stable and expected to make a full recovery! The cause of the fire appears to be accidental, starting in the kitchen,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a statement on Facebook.

The incident comes just weeks after a house fire in Washington state killed dozens of dogs on the property of a canine breeder.
Firefighters responded to the scene in late January after a neighbor had reported that there may have been occupants inside the home, which was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived.
Police were able to contact the homeowner after running the license plates on a vehicle outside the home and getting a phone number. The owner, who was not home at the time, arrived a short time later.

Fire officials said that while no people were at the home at the time of the fire, dozens of animals were inside.
“Firefighters were able to rescue three dogs, but unfortunately, approximately 40 other dogs perished in the fire,” Ileana LiMarzi, a public information officer with the fire department, said in the statement.
