GRIFFIN, Ga. — Footage from a body camera captures a police sergeant's rescue of a 3-year-old from a house fire.
Sgt. Joe Hudson of the Griffin Police Department arrived at the scene of the blaze before the fire department and spotted a grandmother leaving a burning home. He learned that her grandson was still in his room. That's when the 14-year veteran ran into a fire for the first time.
"I was looking everywhere and couldn't find him," Hudson said. "Smoke was starting to get to me, so I grabbed some clothes off her bed and put 'em to my face."
