KIRO-TV is a television station in Seattle, Washington, United States, affiliated with CBS and Telemundo.
The sheriff’s office has released dramatic bodycamera video footage, capturing the moment a Pierce County deputy and a Good Samaritan pulled an injured mailman from his burning truck in Parkland .“It was just really, really smoking,” Mabee said.
“It wasn’t like in flames yet, but you could tell that it was getting ready to.” With no time to waste, Mabee grabbed her hammer, seatbelt cutter, and fire extinguisher from her car. “His door wouldn’t move, so I used my hammer and smacked the handle and broke it and then slid the door open,” she said.“I had to use my seatbelt cutter and cut his seatbelt to pull him out,” Mabee said. Just as Mabee dragged the injured man away from the truck, bodycam video shows a Pierce County deputy arriving with a fire extinguisher. Together, they tried to put out the growing flames. “He started with his fire extinguisher. And then we noticed the fire wasn’t going out. So we both ran back over to the guy and pulled the guy further away,” Mabee said. Deputy Carly Cappetto with the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office said time was critical, especially not knowing what could have been inside the mail truck. “We don’t know what’s in those packages,” Cappetto said. “We don’t know if there’s explosives or anything that could ignite quickly or explode, and so they really can be very dangerous.”Both the postal worker and a passenger in the backseat of the car that was struck were taken to the hospital with serious injuries.“I would wish that if something was going on with somebody in my family or myself, that people wouldn’t just sit in their cars and watch,” she said.Video captured a Pierce County deputy and a Good Samaritan pulling an injured mailman from his burning truck in Parkland.Amazon braces for another major round of layoffs, 14,000 jobs at riskBodycam video of Bellevue officer-involved shooting on hold until trial ends The release of bodycam footage from a December shooting at Bellevue Transit Center is on hold, leaving the public awaiting details. ‘My dad bought tickets in 1976’: For Seahawks superfan, Rams rivalry brings back decades of deafening memoriesChrystal Ortega's tireless dedication recently earned her the WSECU Community Champions Award and a $1,000 grant to further the mission.When Shawn Tibbitts opened Tibbitts FernHill, he was just trying to survive.
