Watch: Incredible footage of police officer pulling drunk man from burning car

Brave doesn’t cover it.

EVERYONE WOULD LIKE to think they could be a have-a-go-hero if the chips were down.

South Carolina police officer Adam Willis showed he is very much a man for a tough job when he pulled a drunk man from his blazing car.

The entire incident was recorded on the dashcam in Willis’ patrol car at 2.35 in the morning in the town of Mount Pleasant.

Willis sprints to the blazing vehicle with a fire extinguisher, then notices a man passed out drunk behind the steering wheel.

Upon successfully rousing the man the two then run to safety.
