In pictures | Two policemen rescued a man from a burning truck

Two Texas cops have been playing heroes for the past few days in Austin, Texas.

Authorities called Eduardo Pineda and Chandler Carrera to intervene in the area after calling 911 to report a burning truck.

Arriving there, two members of the security force noticed that the unconscious man was inside the vehicle. As the doors were locked, they smashed the window to successfully pull the man out of the vehicle.

Two police officers were able to pull him completely out of the truck.

The interrogator was taken to hospital suffering from severe discomfort with smoke, but thanked the courage of the two police officers.

The Austin City Police Department shared footage from an officer with a handheld camera.

Separately, on the same day, constables Pineda and Carrera intervened at the scene of a shooting, putting pressure on his wounds with a tornado and rescuing one of the victims. The police service honored the two for having the courage and speed to respond to these two incidents which took place over a period of a few hours.
