First responders and Good Samaritans save driver

This bodycam footage shows Arizona citizens in Chandler working to rescue a woman trapped in a burning vehicle. From the perspective of Chandler Police Officer Brian Larison (who also narrates), we see people trying to open the car's door. Larison then smashes the window out with his baton. Incredibly, an un-named Peoria fireman on his way to work happens upon the scene, and rushes to their aid with his fire-retardant bunker gear. They pull the driver out the window to safety. There's a long-standing, good natured inter-service rivalry between police and firemen, but these two don't hesitate when lives are on the line. I don't know about you, but it does my heart good to see First Responders living up to the title and making sure everyone goes home. The regular citizens on-scene deserve recognition, too, as they were facing the same problem and its dangers with no tools or protection. Clearly, they don't mind the heat down in Arizona.
