PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia Police Officer Michael Rooney didn't hesitate to dive into action when a little girl fell into a fast-moving creek.
The waters of the Pennypack Creek can often be unforgiving and unpredictable.
Wading through water, Rooney carried the 3-year-old on his back to safety.
Christie Ileto has his story in this week's Heroes on the Frontlines.
