Certified Meteorologist Glenn Burns’ first week on the air at WPTV in Florida is one that he’ll never forget.

He can still remember the Wednesday night in January when a child ran into the newsroom shouting for help after his father fell into a body of water right outside of the news station.

Burns quickly jumped into action, leaping into the water and pulling the man to safety.
