South African firefighter Prince Zwide Masuku may not have been on the clock when he encountered a family of three in distress, but that didn’t stop him from saving their lives.

Masuku, 32, was driving home through flooded streets after a nightshift at Fairview fire station on Nov. 1 when he witnessed a car swerve off the road. The car rolled near Huntersfield Stadium in Katlehong and slipped into a reservoir.
