A policeman who saved 12 men from a fire in a cannabis factory has been given an award for his bravery.
PC Spencer Lunn, 26, had been driving around Birmingham on patrol when he spotted a fire nearby last December.
The fire was blazing from a flat above a café, and flames were erupting out of the roof.
PC Lunn and his colleague went straight to their rescue without any hesitation and pulled everyone out of their homes.
The incident, on December 9 last year, made headlines when bodycam footage caught the incident on film and was shared on Twitter by West Midlands Police.
PC Lunn and PC Kerry Rudge alerted people who lived in the surrounding flats of the fire, and made sure everyone had evacuated.
When reflecting on the incident back in February, he said: “I just reacted and did what I thought was right at the time as the only thing going through my mind was getting people out safely and making sure no one was trapped inside or if anyone was unaware as to what was happening.
“It was great teamwork from everyone, and the other agencies including West Midlands Ambulance Service and West Midlands Fire Service, and thankfully nobody was injured.”
Footage shows PC Lunn heading inside the burning building and knocking on all the residents' doors to get out.
It was whilst evacuating a flat that he stumbled across a number of black bin bags lining the staircase that he quickly realised that he had found a cannabis farm, and alerted the rest of his time of what he had discovered.
The fire was so severe that 40 firefighters were needed to tackle the blaze, and the areas was cordoned off for hours.
Nine months on from the fire, PC Spencer Lunn has been awarded by the The Society for the Protection of Life for his bravery that night.
The news of the award was announced on Twitter by Birmingham Police, who praised his actions by saying: "Brave stuff!"
Deputy Chief Constable for West Midlands Police, Vanessa Jardine, presented him with the award.
One person replied to the tweet saying: "Well done both... Amazing job done."
Another Twitter user said: "#heroesdontwearcapes"
According to the West Midlands Police website, just after receiving his award he won another alongside three colleagues, this time for "saving the life of a woman who had been hit by a train."
He had used a belt to stop the bleeding from the woman's severed leg, and she survived.
