VIDEO: A daring rescue was caught on Las Vegas Metro Police body camera video, showing the tense moments when an officer climbed a dumpster to save a woman from a burning building.
In the body camera video, large flames could be seen coming from the building, while a woman is stuck on the balcony, frantic.
The officers try to keep her calm while they figure out how to reach her – and it all happens in a matter of minutes.
“Hey, just stay right there. Come to this corner right here. Anyone else inside? Alright just stay right there,” an officers says in the video. Metro police responded to a downtown apartment fire last December.
A woman was trapped on a balcony as the building burned, until one officer found a way to reach her.
“Grab the dumpster!” yelled the officer in the video. “Stay right there! Don’t move! Hold on!” he yelled to the woman on the balcony.
