A Spokane Police officer is being credited with saving a woman’s life after pulling her from her burning car Friday night. Officials said the woman called 911 around 10:00 p.m. saying she was trapped in her burning car on North Cannon Street near North Ridgeview Place. She said she was trying to kick out the windows but she couldn’t. Even though this was a fire call, it was also broadcast on police channels and multiple officers from the county and city arrived on scene. Authorities said Officer Tim Schwering was the first to arrive on scene.
They said he broke a hole in the car window with his baton, but was not able to unlock the door. He said he was forced to reach in and pull the entire driver’s side window out. He then helped the victim climb out of the window. Officials said a neighbor also helped in the rescue. When fire crews arrived, they found the engine was on fire. The grill and the bumper had melted away and officials said it left burning puddles beneath the car. It is unclear what caused the car to catch on fire. Officer Schwering was treated and released from the hospital for symptoms related to smoke inhalation.

Why didn't she unlock the damn door
That damn glass 😡 You not only saved that womens from dying BUT YOU SAVED HER.FROM BEING BURNED ALIVE.
IF THAT'S NOT A HERO NOTHING IS
That glass was American… Buy American!
Damn that window is hard.
Wish LEO's would carry window punches with them.
This is why i will never buy a vehicle with those "safety" side windows
Umm, serious engineering oversight.
serious question, why don't officers carry that little punch tool where you just hold it to the glass and hit the button and it shatters the glass? See so many of these videos where they are beating on the glass with batons, flashlights etc.
Gm certified tech here. 2012 Chevy Malibu are not electronic dependent locks like a corvette. Even a corvette has a failsafe pull handle for emergency’s under drivers seat. You should have pulled the common lock rod pretty visible where everybody expects them to be and open the door. 2011+ cruzes Auto Unlock by pulling inner door handle. This victim is so used to door auto unlocking when cars working fine and doors unlock when placed in park, she just assumed it’s all broken and cop took her word for the assumption. Also that window must have been tinted or else it would have shattered on impact.
I have vehicles with power windows. i wish I had manual windows and door locks.
Are all modern car windows tempered or laminated or something? Who in the fuck thought that was a good idea?
That car designed to entrap motorist getting burned to death. What kind of car manufacturer that pos.
God bless this policeman , he is great.

I'm not liking the new windows they are putting in new cars. They need to shatter.
The cars need to carry the glass breaking hammers…
