Man rescued from burning car in Wisconsin
A man was rescued by a police deputy from a burning car in Wisconsin.

A daring rescue was caught on camera as a Wisconsin deputy saved a man from a burning car.

Deputy Zach Roush says he ran up to the car and tried to free the driver as flames shot up around them.

At first, the man wouldn't budge.

"He was probably gonna be burned as well, so I told the guy, 'You're gonna die in a few seconds here,' he was literally a bag of dead weight," Roush said.

The deputy eventually pulled the man to safety. He says despite the danger, it's something he would do again.

The driver was checked out at the hospital and then arrested for drunk driving.
