Rookie firefighter Emilio Sanchez might still be learning the ropes, but he’s certainly made a name for himself after footage of his heroic water rescue started circulating.
Sanchez and his team responded to a call regarding a 12-year-old dog that was struggling to stay afloat in Biscayne Bay. Springing into action, Sanchez quickly strips off his clothes and dives in after the panicked animal. After grabbing onto the pup, the firefighter swims over to an orange stretcher that hoisted the animal to safety.
