Harrowing body camera video captured the moment first responders raced to rescue a woman and her two dogs from the icy waters of Timber Creek in Blackwood, New Jersey, on Sunday afternoon.

The footage shows Chews Landing firefighters using a rope to pull the woman, who was submerged in the freezing water about 35 feet from the shoreline, to safety.

"She was basically unconscious as they pulled her in," Chews Landing Fire Chief Mike Millisky said. "She's very lucky. We really don't know how long she was in the water prior to that."
