Dramatic footage shows Utah police officers rescuing man trapped in burning building

Dramatic bodycam footage shows a group of West Valley City police officers rescuing a man who was trapped on the second floor of an apartment building during a fire Monday morning.

“Come on! Jump! Jump!” officers can be heard shouting to the man, who is seen standing in a second-floor window, the fire burning behind him at the Decker Lake Apartment complex, 2184 W. 3100 South in West Valley City.

Officers drove a cruiser under the window and climbed on top of it, allowing them to reach the man as he dropped into their arms.
