Firefighter rescues deputy from burning vehicle in Orlando.

TL;DR Summary
A Seminole County deputy crashed into an overpass support in Sanford, causing his patrol car to catch fire. An off-duty Orlando firefighter, Lt. Ben Wootson, who was taking his son to a soccer game, witnessed the crash and rescued the deputy from the burning vehicle. The deputy is now stable after undergoing several surgeries, and his loved ones have started a fundraiser to help with his recovery and medical bills. The cause of the crash is unknown, but the sheriff's office said the deputy suffered an unknown medical emergency. OFD says Lt. Wootson’s bravery and sacrifice are a reminder of how firefighters are never off-duty.
