Driver may be alive, but the link is dead.

Link works fine.
Fantastic footage of rescue! Cops got the driver loose within seconds of fire breaching driver's compartment! Well done by LEO's!! |

Link worked. Good job by the officers, but I'm struggling to understand why they couldn't get the fire under control early on. There were at least a few police vehicles there, and a coordinated strike by 2, or at most 3, fire extinguishers is pretty effecting at putting out a vehicle fire if it is caught relatively early. Later in the video, you could clearly see the headliner on fire, and pretty much nothing short of a dump of foam from a fire engine is going to stop it once it gets to that point, but it looked pretty contained to the engine compartment at the start of the video.
Not that it matters much to this incident, I'm sure no one gave a crap about the car. |

A good friend had a seizure while driving a double, no time for the LEO's to get there. A good Samaritan jumped in and cut him loose, saved his life. Great job in both scenarios.
