PC Zoran Ivkovic is Toronto’s police officer of the year for his rescue of a badly burned boy during an Etobicoke apartment fire on March 31, 2015. As he arrived, Ivkovic was told there were children inside the unit. He faced heavy smoke as he crawled along a hallway banging on doors as he passed. The last unit was fully engulfed in flames and despite the effects of the smoke and heat Ivkovic forced open the door and crawled in. He used his flashlight to find what appeared to be a human figure. It was a severely burned boy. The PC held the boy as he ran out of the apartment. Today the 49th annual awarding of police officer of the year was made to Ivkovic with his wife and daughter present.
