Two Snohomish County sheriff’s deputies rescued a man from a burning car, then performed CPR after he stopped breathing.
The sheriff’s office released body camera footage Monday of the Oct. 14 rescue.
The car had crashed into a wooded area near Arlington in unincorporated Snohomish County and caught fire.
After deputies pulled the man from the car, he stopped breathing. They performed CPR, and he was breathing again by the time medics arrived to take him to a hospital.
The man’s condition and the cause of the crash were not available.
Also on Oct. 14, two bystanders rescued a driver from a small SUV that crashed into a tree and caught fire in Puyallup.
In that case, police said the driver was highly intoxicated.
