The footage shows the men opening the victim's car door and pulling him out. 

They then drag the man by his arms away from the vehicle and onto a patch of grass outside a Shell gas station as the department's first officer arrived on the scene to help. 

The officer then instructs the two men to pick the driver up and carry him further away from the smoking vehicle. 

Moments later, the vehicle burst into flames. The flames continued to consume the car as police officers blocked off the roadway. 

Following the rescue, the police department saluted both men 'for their heroism'.

Police have not released details about the cause of the crash and no other details were available about the victim's condition.
