Without thinking of his safety, Police Constable Iowane Baleicakau of Sawani Community Post risked his own life and assisted a child get to safety when their home was nearly overtaken by floodwaters.
The image has gone viral on social media, with many showing their appreciation and love for what PC Baleicakau has done, which has also brought pride to the Fiji Police Force.
His love for his work and pride in the uniform was evident as he carried a child out from his home as flood waters increased.
Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection thanked the Fiji Police for their dedication and work in keeping people and children safe during floods.
According to Police, when others run away from danger, officers run towards it for the sake of the communities they serve.
They say officers risk their own lives at times to save others, and despite criticism and negative comments, they deal with situations head-on.
