RICHARD, THANKS FOR BEING HERE
THIS MORNING. WHAT DID YOU SEE
HERE THIS MORNING? THERE WAS A
LOT OF DEBRIS.
>> AND THE DUST WAS SETTLING.
AND SO THIS AREA HAD A WEIRD.
PAYS TO IT AS THE BEST. I CAN
EXPLAIN IT. AND THEN I
REALIZED IT WASN’T HAYES. IT
WAS SMOKE IN THE CAR WAS ON
FIRE. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
EVERYBODY WAS IT’S DARK. YOU
KNOW, OUT IN THESE 2 YARDS AND
SCREAMING AND NEED HELP AND
NEED HELP. CALL 9-1-1. THERE’S
A CAR CRASH IN THE MAN WITHOUT
A SHIRT CAME OUT. AND YOU
KNOW, HEY, THAT’S MY TRAILER.
CALL 9-1-1. HE SAYS I’M ON THE
PHONE. AND THEN THE NEIGHBOR.
SHE CAME OUT. I WAS ABLE TO
GET A GARDEN HOSE HOOKED UP.
AND I HAD TO GET ANOTHER
PIECE. IT WASN’T LONG ENOUGH
AND I THOUGHT I HEARD THE KID
HIT WAS HIS APPLE WATCH SAYING
DIALING EMERGENCE HERE CALLING
EMERGENCY IT AND I KEPT TRYING
TO RESPOND TO THAT THINKING IT
WAS A PERSON. AND THERE’S A
BUNCH OF DEBRIS ON THE CAR AND
METAL AND EVERYTHING INSIDE OF
THE HOSE HOOKED UP AND STARTED
TO. GET THE FIRE EXTINGUISHED.
AND THEN I STARTED TO REMOVE
SOME OF THE METAL AND WOOD AND
EVERYTHING. AND THEN I STARTED
YELLING AND I COULD HEAR
PERSON’S VOICE AT THAT POINT.
AND I WAS ABLE THE PASSENGER
DOOR WHERE THE BACK DOOR OPEN.
AND I COULD FEEL IF THERE IS A
SEATBELT, I COULD I COULD SEE
THAT HE WAS TRAPPED. I
COULDN’T GET THE FRONT DOOR
OPEN ENOUGH. I DON’T KNOW IF
HIS LEG WAS BROKEN, BUT
THERE’S I COULDN’T MOVE. AND I
WAS AFRAID TO TOUCH HIM TO BE
ON THIS JUST BECAUSE OF HOW
BAD THAT IS. I WAS ABLE TO GET
HIS NAME. AND TRY TO KEEP THEM
A COHERENT THEN. I HEARD THE
SIRENS AND I JUST HAVE TO SAY
I’VE BEEN TO. SITES AFTER
TORNADOES. I’VE HELPED PEOPLE.
SIFT THROUGH THEIR BELONGINGS.
IF ANYBODY EVER SAYS, YOU KNOW
THE JOB THAT OUR FIRE MEN AND
WOMEN AND OUR POLICE
DEPARTMENTS TO. TELL YOU WHEN
YOU HEAR THE SIRENS THERE WAS
A SENSE OF RELIEF. AND THEY
APPROACH THE SCENE SO CALM AND
I’M STILL FRESHMAN AT AND SO
FRAZZLED. THEY GOT HIM OUT.
AND THAT’S THE BEST NEWS. THE
FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED. AND
HOPEFULLY HE’S GOING TO BE
OKAY. I MEAN, THIS ISN’T
SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AT 02:30AM,
IN THE MORNING ON YOUR WAY TO
WORK. BUT THIS IS THE TIME,
UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN SOMETIMES
MAYBE BAD CHOICES ARE MADE AND
AND PEOPLE GET BEHIND THE
WHEEL. PUTTING THAT BLAME. BUT
I MEAN, THERE’S NOBODY ELSE ON
THE ROAD AND YOU SAW THE VIDEO
THAT WAS THE HIGH HA. I DON’T
KNOW HOW FAST, BUT IT WAS FAST
TOO. TAKE THE TRAILER OFF THAT
TRAILER LOOK LIKE IT WAS
HOOKED UP TO THAT TRUCK. IT
COMPLETELY TOOK IT OFF AND PUT
IT WHERE IT IS. AND SO, WHILE
IT’S NOT A NORMAL WINS,
>> TO HAVE THE KIND OF
COMPOSURE THAT YOU HAD TO DO
AS MUCH AS YOU COULD LET THAT
TAKE WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH
YOUR HEAD AND SAID, OH, NO.
>> I IT WAS I JUST SAW A CAR
AND I SAW FIRE AND YOU KNOW,
WE’VE HAD ALL THE DIFFERENT
STORIES ABOUT PEOPLE PULLING
PEOPLE OUT OF BURNING CARS AND
I COULD SMELL THE GAS. BUT I
THINK IT WAS BECAUSE OF LAWN
MOWERS THAT HAVE BEEN, YOU
KNOW, TOSSED ABOUT. AND I KNOW
THAT I WALKED MY FEET. MY MY
ANKLES ARE BURNING. AND SO I
THINK IT GOT ON ME. IT WAS THE
FIRE. I MEAN, THAT WAS JUST MY
FIRST TO GET THE FIRE OUT, YOU
KNOW, AND THEN I COULD FIGURE
OUT, YOU KNOW, TRY TO GET TO
THE YOUNG MEN IN THERE AND
THEN THE NEIGHBORS. LIKE I
SAID, THEY THEY GOT ON THE
PHONE. SO I WASN’T EVEN THE
ONE I DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO CALL
9-1-1. YOU KNOW IT IN MY
THINKING, CALL 9-1-1, AND AND
THAT’S WHEN I STARTED IF THEY
HAVE A LINK CAMERAS OR ANY OF
THAT, YOU’RE GOING TO HEAR ME
SOUND LIKE A. LIKE A YOU KNOW,
I NEED HELP. I NEED HELP. CALL
9-1-1, AND THEY’RE SO CALM,
YOU KNOW, COOL AND COLLECTED
WHEN THEY GOT HERE. THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT ASSESSED EVERYTHING
AND THEY JUST WANT TO WORK. SO
COULD HE SIMPLY AND I BACKED
AWAY JUST FOR SECONDS. OKAY.
I’M GONNA GO TO WORK. STILL. I
STILL SHAKEN. I’M NOT AN
EMOTIONAL PERSON BUT TO SEE
SOMEBODY IN THAT PREDICAMENT.

WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND WE
