A Texas firefighter pulled a trapped toddler from the window of a burning apartment building in a daring early morning rescue Sunday, and it was all caught on video.

A firefighter, identified in a Facebook post as "J. Head" of the North Hood County Volunteer Fire Department's Engine 26, was captured on a colleague's bodycam as he broke the window of a second-story bedroom in a burning apartment building in Granbury, allowing for the safe removal of 2-year-old Liam Keen.

The blaze was first reported to Hood County 911 at approximately 12:50 a.m., after which firefighters were dispatched to the 300 block of Parkwood Lane. Upon arrival, they were briefed on the situation.

"We got a 2-year-old on the second floor," a firefighter is heard saying shortly after arriving at the scene.

Crew from the Granbury Volunteer Fire Department's (GVFD) Engine 1 quickly brought the ladder to the window, with Head making the climb and breaking the glass, with another firefighter whose jacket bore the name "Serratelli" appearing to remove Liam. The boy was instructed to come to the sound of firefighters' voices.

"He's screaming, he's crying; that's good," another firefighter observes as his colleague descends the ladder with the boy in his arms.
