Without thinking twice, Officer Matthew Reiss ran into a burning Pennsylvania barn to rescue a horse. It took another cop and a ranch worker in order to wrangle the large animal. “It was an absolute moment of excitement and adrenaline dump that we were successful,” Reiss said. “Minimal injuries to both he and I, and we were out there, so good work!” Inside Edition Digital’s Stephanie Officer explains. #InsideEdition
