Heroes on Duty: Everett Police Race to Save Man from Flaming Electric Car

When it comes to heroic rescues, two Everett police officers have taken the gold medal for their brave actions during a recent incident on I-5. On July 26, these officers didn’t just stand by; they dashed into a burning electric car to save a man trapped inside. The body camera footage captures the dramatic moment, and it’s enough to make anyone hold their breath!

Both officers rushed in just as flames were engulfing the vehicle, showing some serious guts and quick thinking. While they pulled the man to safety, they also had to deal with some smoke inhalation themselves. Fortunately, they’re stable and recovering nicely, leaving behind a story that could make a heart pump a little faster. Talk about a day that went from zero to hero in a flash!

Mayor Cassie Franklin didn’t hold back, praising the officers for their bravery. “These officers are heroes in every sense of the word,” she said—proving that true courage often comes when it’s least expected. It’s a reminder that not all heroes wear capes, some come armed with a badge and a fire extinguisher.
