Then he saw a car on fire. • -Michael heard screams, and realized there was a woman in the burning car. Inside the car, Jodi was panicking and was trying, but unable to unfasten her seatbelt. Michael ran up to the passenger door of the car, but it was stuck and wouldn't open. Then he ran to the driver-side door, but the flames were too big to get to her that way. So he ran back to the passenger side door and this time, squeezed himself through the window. The fire had burned Jodi's seatbelt. She reached out, and grabbed ----Michael's hands, and he was able to pull her out through the flames. Her arms and hair were on fire, setting fire to Michael's hands as well. He managed to put out the flames. • -An ambulance arrived and she was flown to a hospital. There, the severity of her condition became apparent - she had burns on 50% of her body, injuries to internal organs, bleeding of the brain and facial fractures. Her leg had to be amputated.
