  • I am an emt/firefighter... I couldn't help but laugh at the camerawork when he/she zoomed in on the license plate holder.

  • I watched this happen at 2 am on highway 69 north of Nobel, Ontario

    One female was trapped in passenger side of vehicle and i got to see EMS show up

    Fuck, I'll tell ya, when the air burst from the brakes went, the side door of that truck opened and those men poured out like soldiers, and were cutting the car open in LITERALLY 3 minutes. They had both jaws out, all the hoses, blankets for the jaws to rest on, lights were set up, fire hose ready. i couldnt believe my eyes!

    These are Heros

  • Did anyone notice that the officers managed to repeatedly impede the actions of the rescue team? Communicating the need for assistance, maintaining the traffic flow and allowing the rescue team to have room to operate are essential. Getting in the way was not beneficial to the injured party or those on scene to get her out of the car. They were largely curious spectators too close. Their place was not beside the rescue crew. It was to side and out of the way.

  • This could be an advertisement for any modern car. . .

  • good job men.

  • Way to save folk from themselves, CT. Good job. Stay safe. etw
