CONWAY, Arkansas—An Arkansas police officer is being commended for his bravery after risking his own life to rescue two people and a dog from a house that was on fire.
The Conway Police Department shared footage of the incident on social media last week. It was not immediately clear when the rescue took place.
“Officer Carson Howard with your CPD arrived at the scene of a house engulfed in flames & without regard for his own safety, he immediately ran into the burning home,” the police department said on Twitter. “He led 2 people & their dog out to safety. He’s a great example of selflessness & the heartbeat behind the badge!”
It appears that no one was injured in the incident.
The Conway Police Department serves the city’s population of nearly 68,000 residents. Last year, the department responded to more than 81,000 calls for service and made over 5,000 arrests, a 2% drop from the previous year.
