He could not even see through the flames, but he returned to the vehicle in case anyone else needed help.
Police Officer Scott Krissinger of Cape May, New Jersey, was caught on Dashboard camera running towards a burning truck and pulling out the unconscious occupant, 61-year-old Gerald Ferrill of Mays Landing. The camera then show the officer going back to the truck to make sure there was no one else inside. NBC Philadelphia quoted the officer’s captain: “He didn’t hesitate. …He’s a hero in every sense of the word and we’re very happy to have him as a member of our department.” But Krissinger disagrees, and thinks anyone on the force would have done the same thing “I think there are heroes every day. I just happened to be caught on camera doing it.”
