Garcia pulled over and immediately ran to the trailer park. He heard a woman screaming that a man named Brad was still inside. "At that point, I'm like, I've got to get him out," Garcia said. "I ran across the street against the officer's orders, controlling the crowd - she told me not to jump the wall, but I told her, 'Don't worry ma'am. I'm a professional,' and I jumped over the wall.
Brad is still in the hospital and has a long road to recovery, but doctors say he wouldn't have made it if he stayed in that trailer for another five minutes.But to Brad's family, he will always be their hero. Support the family's GoFundMe:
