Brooklyn, New York – A heroic act by off-duty FDNY Deputy Fire Chief George Healy on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn saved a man’s life in a near-fatal crash early Monday morning. Healy, who was traveling with his family at the beginning of their annual trip to Disney World, witnessed the aftermath of a two-vehicle crash that left a two-door coupe engulfed in flames.
„I stopped the car and kind of looked up and could tell that there was something significant had happened in front of us,“ Healy said. Despite being off-duty, Healy sprang into action, running towards the crash site in his socks, as he had taken his shoes off while driving.
As Healy approached the burning car, he saw a man tangled in a seatbelt in the back, unconscious. He quickly flagged down an NYPD officer for assistance. Together, they worked to free the man from the seatbelt and drag him out of the car before it became fully engulfed in flames.
„If there wasn’t divine intervention on his behalf, it would have been a bad evening for him,“ Healy said. The man that Healy saved is expected to recover from the crash, thanks to the quick actions of Healy and the NYPD officer.
Healy’s selfless act highlights the importance of being prepared to help others in times of crisis. „It felt nice to be in the right place at the right time, and any time you can help somebody, it makes you feel good,“ Healy added.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation, and there is no word on what led to the collision. However, Healy’s quick thinking and bravery in the face of danger undoubtedly made a significant impact on the outcome of the incident.
In other news, a new and potentially lethal narcotic known as „pink cocaine“ is reportedly making its way into the NYC area from Latin America. Dan Krauth has the details on this dangerous drug and its effects on the community.
As the community reflects on Healy’s heroic actions and the dangers of new drugs entering the area, it serves as a reminder to always be vigilant and ready to lend a helping hand in times of need. The selflessness and bravery displayed by individuals like Healy are a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
