Thank God they got him out. My Brother's van caught on fire. My Brother was disabled as well and had hand controls as well. The only way he could get out was by the driver's door. He pushed himself out. He had just got the van back from the garage. They had left the gas line or something loose and when I saw the shape the van was in my heart froze. If my Brother hadn't pushed himself out….
My Brother died in 2022 and I miss him terribly. But it wasn't due to the fire.
just a psa lights and sirens DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY GRANT EMERGECNY VEHICLES RIGHT OF WAY AND THEY STILL HAVE TO TAKE CAUTION
That police departments bodycam in the second one suck
this ai voice is hella good
My truck caught on fire an I had a pistol an 2 mags. So around 75 rounds of 10mm. First battery exploded then the pistol rounds started popping off. The fire dept couldn't put fire out while rounds were going off
$196? Jesus tittyfucking Christ.
Hats off to Joe for stepping in and doing the right thing and helping!
This wouldnt have happened if the motorcycle was behaving yes but i disagreed when the officer said he blames this on that guy
Fined $196 what a joke.
He couldn’t dodge the charger
If some of you reckless drivers out there is watching this then, perhaps, this will MAKE YOU THINK AND MAKE YOU SLOW DOWN AND DRIVE MORE CAREFULLY!! People drive way too recklessly.
Joe is a Hero!
1:00 give him respect for saving someone🫡
Joe is a real life Hero ,what a amazing blessing this man had by Joe being on the scene of this crash ,I wish I could meet this man ,shake his hand and give him a hug .
hold up…
For one if that ambulance was headed to the scene it wouldn't be sitting in traffic lights off….
0:08 – vehcile on fire and a PERSON TRAPPED INSIDE
0:54 – luckily a good samaritan named joe, saw the burning vehicle and was able to pull out the person inside
ummm…AI? those words you are using, I don't think they mean what you think they mean. Hey at least it's not as bad as ones where it's "the unthinkable happens" and all that happens is the most undane normal thing
How is it the random motorcyclists fault when the Sheriff's wife clearly didn't yield to the police officer, AND the officer was probably going too fast and didn't use caution when entering the intersection like the witness said? TF?
0:19 shows that Midtwest Safety haven't got the slightest clue what they are talking about, but are all about raking up views and creating fake content for likes.
That section of I-5 is always backed up due to some sort of accident. Traffic trying to fly thru even in stop and go, traffic trying to split over to the left to take the carpool lane and traffic from the right coming on from multi-lane on ramp trying to get to the left lanes. Coming up the opposite way (past the TDome) isn't any better.
And that ambo was not going to the scene, they were mid-lane, most likely a patient transport not an emergency run. They run a lot of patient transfers thru Tacoma up north to Seattle/Bellevue from Olympia/Lacey and the like.
An ambulance going to the scene would be doing exactly what the police car was doing, duh 🙄
Cooking off ammo really isn't that dangerous.
no way…JO
Speculation with no proof of anything, like the ambulance with no lights or sirens on stuck in traffic….thats not how we respond.
How are you elderly and speeding, Kenny is nuts
11:00 the insult fuck Jesus thank the officer and fire rescue lol
6:56 that’s bad he dodged a dodge charger 😂
6:57 pun intended?
Concerned about c spine but no one is holding it… 🤔narrative doesn't seem to fit actions
Slow down Kenny
Popo… blaming it on the motorcyclist. Wow !!! The level of taking no responsability of their acts is unbelievable.
Police are required to be careful also, when running red lights. They can't just plow through
11:25 in no case stop on railroad tracks, why no one care about this
I live about 25 minutes away from there… people drive INSANE on I-5.
That ambulance company works Kitsap County (Bremerton area), not Tacoma/Pierce County. They are likely on an inter facility transport from a small hospital to a bigger one.
The cop saying its his friday. i get you bro.
an amublance sitting in congested traffic with no lights on is called a nursing home transport. they also transport dead people who died at nursing homes to hospitals just for a doctor to write the time of death certificate up. i see it all the time. happens atleast once a month at the 3 nursing homes i was servicing.
Besides the point of not driving recklessly in traffic, another takeaway from this is, if you had an incident where your spine got messed up, they not to mess it up again
Sorry, but no, the second scene wasn't caused by the motorcyclist. It was caused by a cop thinking he could catch up to a motorcycle and blew through an intersection without properly clearing it. Motorcyclist didnt make him crash, the cop did it to himself. Regardless of lights and sirens running, emergency vehicles can't go through a red light in an unsafe manner. Might not be the same everywhere, but lights and sirens do not exclude you of fault. If you watch a lot of chase videos, you can tell who's responsible and who's reckless. The responsible ones slow down when approaching intersections when they dont have the light or its a stop sign intersection.
So cop lies about traffic lights and story too other cops, by some chance hits the sheriffs wife of all people and his dash cam by some chance got cooked in the fire :'( Yeeeeeeea i don't know about that one buddy….
I live in Wa. State, if I need help, I'm calling Joe Patrol, he's got skills!
Why dont you put a describition about the incident? Lazy and sloppy
Oof spinal injuries are my biggest fear. Good luck to him
Get ready for the lawsuit Joe.
He and his lawyers will blame you for his spinal injury.
No good deed goes unpunished.
8:14 Kenny was very foolish, and that had to be incredibly terrifying, sitting there trapped, knowing he could easily die, unable to move, wondering if anyone was ever going to stop and help him. Thank God for the Joe's of this world, and for first responders.
