Helmet camera for firefighter In one video clip that garnered worldwide attention, a Houston firefighter's helmet camera shows a life being saved as burglar bars are cut and a man is pulled from a blazing home.

The 'Jaws of Life' went to work in another online clip, as HFD Engine 68 handled a car that had slammed into a FedEx truck in southwest Houston.
