A Philadelphia cop owes his life to 17-year-old Joe Chambers after the teenager pulled him from a burning police cruiser on Saturday night.
Chambers was watching ‘Cops’ on television on Saturday evening when he heard a crash outside. Going outside to investigate, Chambers found officer Mark Kimsey trapped in a police cruiser that was on fire at the intersection of 28th and Tasker St., according to the New York Daily News.
Although the fire could have engulfed the entire vehicle at any moment, Chambers and another passerby pulled the injured Kimsey from the vehicle. It was less than one minute before the fire spread to the driver’s seat, and less than five minutes before the entire car was ablaze.
A black pickup truck reportedly broadsided the cruiser, denting the driver’s side door so that Kimsey, who was semi-conscious, was unable to escape.
The Daily News reported that Chambers also rescued the unconscious driver of the pickup truck and brought him to safety.
Chambers, a senior at Ridley High School and a volunteer firefighter with the Leedom company for the past three years, told the Daily News that he plans to join the Marines or Army after graduating. However, he eventually plans to pursue his dream of becoming a firefighter or a policeman.
