A new body-cam video shows Mesa police officers working together to save a driver from a burning vehicle last month.
The crash happened on the afternoon of Aug. 9. A caller can be heard telling a 911 operator, “We need help! We need help!”
The 911 operator then asks for the address. “There’s a wreck. Car wreck, in front of our house. Car’s on fire! He’s trapped,” the caller says.
The video cuts to Mesa Police Officer Joost pulling up to the scene and running to the burning car. He soon sees an unconscious driver and uses a knife to cut the seatbelt.
Officer Stewart is also at the scene and uses a fire extinguisher to try to put out the fire. Mesa Police Officer Zilm breaks the back window to release smoke from the car.
Officer Stewart then goes back into the car and pulls the man out with help from Mesa Fire and Medical. The officers and firefighters carry the man from the vehicle and lay him down on the ground, where Officer Donovan gives him Narcan.
The man was taken to the hospital in stable condition.
