Clark police officers saved a man from a burning car earlier this week.
The rescue was captured on police body cameras.
The incident happened around 9:10 p.m. Monday when officers were called to the scene of a single-vehicle crash.
The officers broke a window and were able to pull the 46-year-old driver from the car and bring him to safety.
"These officers demonstrated extraordinary bravery under life-threatening conditions," Capt. Miguel Acabou wrote in a statement. "Their decisive actions and commitment to protecting the lives of others exemplify the very best of our profession. I'm extremely proud of my officers."
The victim was treated at the hospital. The three responding offers were treated for smoke inhalation and are expected to be OK.
