Georgia cop rescuing child from fire caught on body cam — VIDEO
A Georgia police officer rescued a toddler from a burning house, and it was all caught on body cam video.
Sgt. Joe Hudson rushed inside a smoking residence in search of 3-year-old Ray Ray.
“I got frantic at one point because I could not find him,” the officer told CNN.
The father of three and 14-year Griffin Police Department veteran acted immediately upon hearing a child was in the house.
“I am a father, and there is a child in the back bedroom and I need to get to him,” he said to Georgia News.
The child’s grandmother alerted authorities and was pleading for the safety of her grandchild.
Hudson searched the residence for over a minute and emerged with Ray Ray in his arms, coughing from the smoke.
“She did give me a hug and a kiss on the cheek,” Hudson told CNN. “It makes it all worth it doing this job when you have something like this happen.”
