Dennis Brown is paralyzed from the waist down, which made it challenging for him to get out of the rental car before it burst into flames.

He says the woman who pulled him out of the burning car is a true hero, risking her life to save his.

"I had rented a car from Enterprise equipped with hand control," Brown told Fox4. "I have been in the car several times. It seemed like the car was about to give out. I looked up. The front end was on fire."

He started to panic while trying to get his wheelchair out.

Then, suddenly, a stranger was by his side.

"The car is ablaze now. She is panicking. I'm like, 'Oh, wow. This isn't going to happen'," Brown recalled.

The woman quickly gave up on assembling the wheelchair and pulled him out of the car.

"I almost lost my child in this burning car," Brown's mother said. "I cannot thank her enough. If she had not pulled him out, he would have burned in that car. She was his angel."
