Meet one of the most badass firefighters around. Why, we hear you ask? Well, despite the fact that he was only inches away from a burning car that exploded while he was trying to put the fire out, this man didn’t even move during the blast and continued to do his job!

The incident took place in Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles last week, and was caught on camera.

“As they were attacking the fire, it appears from the video, that an airbag went off, sending sparks,” LAFD Capt. Jaime Moore told NBC news. “They had their personal protective equipment on, so he was not injured.”

“As you can see in the video, he didn’t event flinch,” said Moore. “He took a step back and continued fighting the fire.”
