Two deputies in Texas are being praised for their heroic actions after pulling a man from a burning car and then laying him in a nearby puddle to extinguish the flames. The Chambers County Sheriff's Office said the incident happened Dec. 13 near Winnie, located about 60 miles east of Houston. Deputies Braedon Boznango and Carlton Carrington arrived to reports of a major vehicle crash to find one of the vehicles fully engulfed in flames with an unconscious man in the front seat. The officers were able to drag the man from the burning car by pulling him through the door window and then placing him in a nearby puddle. The deputies were not injured during the rescue, but the heat from the blaze was so intense that some of the equipment on their uniforms was melted.
