Tampa Rescue Team Saves Three from Fiery Car Wreck, What Solution Is!
DEBARYLIFE – Three people were saved from a catastrophic wreck in Tampa early on Saturday morning by many good samaritans, including two local nurses and two off-duty EMTs.
At West Kennedy Blvd. and Westland Avenue, it occurred shortly after one in the morning. When they heard the crash, adjacent nurses Bradley Reynolds and his friend—also a nurse—were searching for their missing cat, Nestle.
We felt obligated to assist if we could, I believe, because we are both nurses. We thus hurried down here,” he remarked.
When the two got there, they discovered a burning Land Rover SUV upside down and two severely damaged automobiles.
“Fortunately, we had a flashlight, so I was able to check as far back as we could while looking for the cat. It was elevated since it was an SUV and was lying on its side, according to Reynolds.
He gave his friend the flashlight to divert traffic away from the collision once he was sure that everyone had left.

“I ran to the Circle K to grab another fire extinguisher because the two that were already here were used, and the fire was still spreading,” Reynolds stated.
First responders showed there five to six minutes later, according to Reynolds, and took the three drivers to the hospital where they were treated for minor wounds.
Adrian Jacinto, 32, the Land Rover’s driver, was detained on suspicion of DUI causing property damage or personal harm, according to a report released by Tampa Police on Monday.
After Reynolds’ interview with FOX 13 ended, he went back to look for his missing cat and discovered another fire on W Cypress St.
As the flames approached a nearby residence, Reynolds was seen on camera assisting a friend in putting out a trailer fire with a bucket of water. Using just one engine, the firefighters were able to put out the fire. Investigations are underway to determine the cause.
