Three saved from a fiery car wreck. David sends.<\/p>\n

Fort Drum soldiers take action at Arsenal Street crash scene Thursday night<\/h3>\n

Craig Fox, Watertown Daily Times, N.Y.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A dinner off post at Applebee’s for five Fort Drum soldiers turned into a moment of quick thinking and immediate action, credited for saving three people in a violent, fiery crash in front of the Price Chopper plaza on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Working together, three soldiers pulled two injured people from a pickup truck that burst into flames, while two others ran over to the nearby Applebee’s restaurant for a fire extinguisher to put out a fire underneath the vehicle, they said.<\/p>\n

Sgt. Major Jake Smith was just pulling into the plaza to go to Applebee’s when he saw a Dodge Ram pickup speeding down Arsenal Street right before it smashed into a Dodge Durango leaving the Speedway convenience store shortly before 10 p.m., he said.<\/p>\n

The other four soldiers had just finished dinner and were about to pull out of the plaza when they saw and heard the crash. All five soldiers rushed over to the crash scene to see what they could do to help.<\/p>\n

“It was a big explosion and the next thing we knew, the whole block, the lights went out for about 30 seconds,” Spc. Shane Cockerham said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
