    In Evesham Township, a New Jersey police officer is being called a hero for rescuing an elderly couple from a burning home.

    The rescue was all caught on his body cam.

    The video shows Officer Kevin Long directing the woman to safety outside.

    After guiding the woman, he went deeper into the house to rescue her husband who is wheelchair bound.

    First, he dragged the wheelchair out, then ran back inside to get the man out of the house.

    Fire officials say it was a cooking fire that got out of control.
