RACIN, Wis. (KRDO) - Body cam video shows dramatic moments of a police officer saving a man and dogs from a house fire in Racine, Wisconsin.

He's now being called a hero and the video has been viewed across the nation.

Racine Police Officer Max Golden sprinted inside the burning home on Tuesday afternoon, hurdling fences and kicking in the door.

Inside, he found a man and two dogs unconscious, but was able to pull them to safety thanks to his quick action.
