A deputy in Florida saved an unconscious woman during a house fire on Sunday.
Footage from Volusia County Sheriff’s deputy Austin Graham’s body camera shows him forcing entry into the home after responding to reports of a house fire.
Graham found the woman unconscious on the floor of a hallway, and he quickly carried her out of the home.
“Come on, ma’am, I got you,” Graham could be heard saying in the footage.

Another deputy helped Graham carry the woman once he got her out of the house. She was then brought to a nearby hospital in serious condition, but she is expected to make a full recovery.
Graham was evaluated for smoke inhalation on the scene, but did not require hospitalization.
“Great news: At last update, she was stable and expected to make a full recovery! The cause of the fire appears to be accidental, starting in the kitchen,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a statement on Facebook.

The incident comes just weeks after a house fire in Washington state killed dozens of dogs on the property of a canine breeder.
Firefighters responded to the scene in late January after a neighbor had reported that there may have been occupants inside the home, which was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived.
Police were able to contact the homeowner after running the license plates on a vehicle outside the home and getting a phone number. The owner, who was not home at the time, arrived a short time later.
Fire officials said that while no people were at the home at the time of the fire, dozens of animals were inside.
“Firefighters were able to rescue three dogs, but unfortunately, approximately 40 other dogs perished in the fire,” Ileana LiMarzi, a public information officer with the fire department, said in the statement.
