Spring Hill heroes saved a man from a burning vehicle.

 

A city of Spring Hill employee along with 4 other community members saved a man that was trapped in a burning vehicle on Tuesday morning.

The SUV then caught fire causing the doors of the vehicle to crumple making them impossible to open, and Chris along with other drivers on the scene including 2 of the dump truck drivers discovered that when the doors to the SUV would not open.

That is when the dump truck drives used one of their dump trucks and a log chain to open the jammed door.
