Video: The rescue of two people from a burning boat near Corpus Christi, Texas, from an aircrew from Sector Corpus Christi, Texas.

Transcript:
AST2 Josh Mros: We got a call about a vessel on fire and we were close by, maybe a half-mile away from the boat. We got on scene. I got in the water and saw that one survivor was severely burned from head to toe. So, we put him in the plane and we flew him directly to the hospital right away. I stayed on scene with the other guy who had no injuries at all and a small boat came and picked us up. Then the helo came back and picked myself up.
