VIDEO: 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. On January 8, deputies say the mail truck crashed into a white car on Park Avenue South. Stephanie Burkhart Mabee told KIRO 7 she pulled over to check on the drivers. “It was just really, really smoking. It wasn’t like in flames yet, but you could tell that it was getting ready to,” Mabee said.

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. She says the postal worker was trapped and unable to move. “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.

Firefighters had to use saws to cut into the doors of multiple storage units after a fire broke out at the storage facility in Everett last night. Just after 6 p.m. Thursday, South County Fire crews responded to reports of smoke billowing from a storage facility located on 4th Avenue West in Everett. According to arriving firefighters, heavy smoke from multiple units made it difficult to pinpoint the fire within the single-story complex. Crews reportedly had to use rotary saws to cut open multiple unit doors to find the fire.

Luckily, crews say they were able to successfully isolate the flames to just three units, preventing spread to the rest of the building. While crews achieved a “knockdown” of the flames in about 30 minutes, firefighters say extensive work was required to remove contents from the heavily packed units to reach deep-seated hotspots. More than three dozen firefighters responded to the scene, including crews from the Everett Fire Department and Paine Field Fire.
