Larry works with Transport Drivers. Inc. One morning in 2009, Larry was 1 along 165 north when he saw a car with its bright lights on. As he 2 near, he found 3 vehicle upside down on the road. One more look and he noticed 4 shooting out from under the 5 vehicle. Larry pulled over, set the brake and 6 the fire extinguisher (灭火器). Two good bursts from the extinguisher and the fire was put out.
The man who had his bright lights on 7 and told Larry he had 8 an emergency call. They 9 heard a woman’s voice coming from the wrecked (毁坏的) vehicle. 10 the vehicle, they saw that a woman was trying to get out of the broken window. They told her to stay 11 until the emergency personnel arrived, but she thought the car was going to 12 . Larry told her that he had already put out the fire and she should not move 13 she injured her neck.
Then fire and emergency people arrived, they let him and the other man go. One thing is 14 — Larry went above and beyond the call of duty by getting so close to the burning vehicle! His 15 most likely saved the woman’s life.
