A Washington state police officer is being hailed a hero after rescuing a woman from a burning car with no thought for his own safety. Officer Tim Schwering arrived at the scene of an inferno last Friday night fearing the worst, but ready to lay his own life down for those trapped inside.

When Schwering stumbled upon Kimberly Novak and her burning vehicle, Kimberly’s car had already begun to fill up with smoke. Schwering managed to break a window with his baton in hopes of unlocking the door, but opening the car door was impossible. In the frenzied and adrenaline fueled moments that followed, Schwering used his baton to break out the entire window so Novak could crawl through.
