ALGONA, Wash. — A group effort to save two people’s lives after they got trapped in a burning car was caught on camera this week.

Algona and Pacific Police worked with Valley Fire crews to grab an unconscious driver and passenger and pull them to safety.

Police say the two had crashed into a ditch and the car burst into flames. The driver is now being investigated for a suspected DUI.

This comes after Pacific Police were also involved in a separate daring rescue in Algona, where an officer caught a man and woman in his arms after the two were forced to jump from the second floor of a burning building.

Both were treated for smoke inhalation.
