CONWAY, Ark. — An Arkansas police officer is being praised for his quick action after he rescued two people from a burning house. Bodycam video released by the Conway Police Department on Monday captured the dramatic encounter.

The video shows Officer Carson Howard charging into a house that is partially engulfed in flames. Through the smoke, Howard finds two people and a dog inside. The residents are audibly distressed as the officer guides them to safety.

“[Howard] is a great example of selflessness and the heartbeat behind the badge!” the agency wrote on Twitter.

Ofc. 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. He led 2 people & their dog out to safety. He's a great example of selflessness & the Heartbeat Behind the Badge! pic.twitter.com/Ll22NJS93z
