Crews battling intense house fire save caged dog
Raw video: Firefighters find and rescue caged dog as they battle blaze at single family dwelling in California.
Firefighters battling a blaze at a home in Northern California on Saturday ended up rescuing a dog in a dramatic moment captured on a body camera.
Stockton Firefighters Local 456 said in a Facebook post they were called to the fire at the 2-story home and arrived to find the building engulfed in flames.
"The fire burned so hot, it compromised most of the windows in the structure allowing smoke to leave and light to enter," fire officials said. "With the wind at the back of the firefighters, this video capture provides a rare glimpse into what firefighters must deal with."
