In my humble opinion, Scott Frye, a New Hampshire State Trooper assigned to the Executive Protection detail, deserves some serious recognition for doing what I personally think is heroic.
From NH-WMUR’s coverage of this incident:
The injured driver continually called out and pleaded not to let him burn. His legs were trapped under the dashboard, police said.Police said Frye climbed through the front windshield of the burning vehicle and freed the man’s legs. Knight helped Frye pull the man to safety.
I’ve been around numerous vehicle fires before, so I know for a fact that TFC Frye risked his own safety to save this guy’s life. Some of these fires are so hot that even being within ten feet of the vehicle can become unbearable.
Please call or mail NH State Police Director Colonel Robert Quinn‘s office and ask that Trooper Frye be properly recognized for risking his own safety to protect a stranger’s life.
