Dramatic moment cop pulls elderly woman from burning vehicle

A Michigan public safety officer is receiving praise for his heroic actions that saved an elderly woman trapped in a burning car on December 16 in Macomb County.

According to the Fraser Department of Public Safety (DPS), Officer Cameron Rieper jumped into action to rescue a woman in her 80s from the burning vehicle, which had veered off the road and into a ditch.

Director of Public Safety Samantha Kretzschmar said the driver was conscious but appeared disoriented. Rieper helped the woman to safety, and within 20 to 30 seconds, the vehicle was completely engulfed in flames, Kretzschmar said.

Kretzschmar said the department would honour Rieper in an upcoming ceremony. Rieper has been with Fraser DPS for “about six years” and “is such a sweet guy and just very humble,” Kretzschmar said.
