Helluva thing, like it was in a movie...I never thought it would happen in real life! A n d what a bunch of cops...y'all are THE BEST!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂 ....whats a Flux capacitor?
Officer: “do you know what happened?” Old man: “yes, I blew a tire” Officer: “your car was on fire” Old man: “I kept going” Officer: “WHY?!” Old man: “I thought I could make it home” 😂 I love how the old man was worried about everything else but HIS VAN THAT WAS ON FIRE
The "I was just trying to eat my pizza!", to him grabbing a slice, back to him excitedly talking with his mouth full, was an amusing and appreciated edit. 😆
The old man mentioned that he had a bag of money from the card game he was coming home from. When they first get him out of the car and he falls you can see something fall to the street. It had to be that money. I hope he got it back. Lucky night.
I wonder if the plastic bag with money in it is what fell out in the street when the officers were grabbing him and trying to pull him away to a safer spot. I saw something fall out of his pocket and hit the street.
@@wesmartyn3829 you don't know what your talking about, dementia quite commonly starts to develop in the late 60s. of course this isn't the case for most people, but it's common enough that it's a risk in traffic and cognition tests every few years wouldn't do any harm.
Christ. This is scary. I'm 81 years old and I never drive unless absolutely necessary and never at night or in inclement weather. This guy seems totally unaware of the situation. Crazy.
I think those two loud explosions were the two passenger-side tires blowing out. They weren't in the direct fire for a while so they would heat up, and when tires heat up like that they build up a lot of pressure inside until they blow out and they make a loud boom.
I would also think it would also be the shocks as well as they might be gas chambered ones there’s tons of different things that can explode on a vehicle from the tires as you said to some of the interior components
My guess was also the tires blowing. The wind direction also explains why we heard 3 pops on video. Guessing the wind kept the flames away from the 4th tire.
That was definitely the tires. I’ve heard that two separate times while working and I’m nit a fire fighter. I was driving by both times. The one time it happened on I295 in NJ and the car was on the shoulder of the road and the heat was so intense coming off.
Yeah. My neighbor lit his “ex wife’s” POS Camaro on fire one night after they split up, trust me, some of us neighbors didn’t feel that bad for the car, but the tires exploding were what grabbed my attention and woke me up, as my room was out in the very front of the house, closest to the street. I seen a lot of things from that room. And that was one of the, funnest. The next best contender was my other heroin addicted neighbor arguing with her friend bombed out dropping her off after hitting 4 cars as she was driving up the street, then 5 more down the street after she took off. Sometimes I miss living in LA. Then I don’t
I also love how despicable they are. They go and pat him down like he committed a crime, take his money out of his pocket, KEEP GOING BACK IN HIS POCKETS, and ask if he's been drinking, exactly .05 seconds after they ask if he's okay, like they cared. PIGS. He's an OLD MAN. WTF is wrong with PIGS.
My heart absolutely goes out to that old man, but he should never even consider sitting behind any wheel other than a motor scooter. I was born, raised, minus 30 years in the Military, and now retired in Fort Lauderdale, and we have a TON of snowbirds that cause absolute mayhem on the roads.
Especially considering he was wearing a synthetic jacket. those will melt to your skin real nicely, a couple second longer and he'd be at a burn center
Hey, you guys did an excellent job handing the situation with the old man. I'm 71 so i really felt bad for the old guy. Life can get strange when we get older. Ya'll really showed him a lot of respect and kindness. Excellant job!
While technically he eluded, I believe his age was a huge factor. Several times he would say what when asked a question which leads me to believe he has hearing issues. I also think he had tunnel vision thinking of nothing but getting home which is why he didn’t see or hear the cops. At first the cops acted a bit edgy but then were more and more respectful.
Eluding involves the willful evasion or fleeing from law enforcement trying to detain you. I think it's safe to say that a guy who didn't even realize his car was on fire also was not aware that the police were behind him. If you genuinely can argue that you didn't realize they were after you, the won't get the charge to stick. Which is why, is you are ever dumb enough to flee, and don't want to face the consequences, insist that you didn't know they were there. Or at least don't admit that you did. If they were rolling up beside you yelling you to pull over, or you obviously accelerated when the lights came on and fled at high speed, they will still convict you, but if there is any chance of arguing that you just didn't know, go for it.
For others who deal with burning cars, some of the early pops are the windows. Yes, car windows pop when the are burned, it’s the inner stresses in the glass bursting. The larger booms are the tires increasing in pressure from the heat and finally exploding. Unless there are pressure tanks in the vehicle, with faulty pressure relief valves, it is very unlikely for there to be an actual explosion. The gas is already on fire, as that is what was ignited, probably after some hot metal penetrated the gas tank, so no vapors to suddenly detonate. And since the gas tank itself has already been punctured it can not build any pressure up to explode. So the officer that was worried about flying metal, was fairly incorrect, as an average car fire, will not explode, like the ones in movies do, since they have some explosives in them, and your average driver usually does not. Though it is always good to be safe and keep distance from a burning vehicle, simply due to the toxic fumes of the burning plastics. Keep safe out there, and these officers, beyond believing a few myths, did a great job.
Huge respect for those officers assessing the situation and reacting so calm and collected. Saved the old mans life and their own no doubt. Definitely had me on pins and needles there to start with😂 glad everyone is alright
For his jacket not to carbonize enough to catch fire was amazing! It was like an angel had its wings between his nylon jacket and the flames. Great job officers!
Must say, they saw his age, and did not hurt him..they are good cops. We need more like this. Moral, kind. He is an old man. My respect to those officers
Why because most cops would have beat the elderly man up a little? GTFO out of here with that shit. If that ever happened, it was once or twice, and that is zero reason to assume that that is the normal result and that this is the unusual, rare, uncommon "good cops we need more of", unlike the other 499,000 cops which just beat up old people for fun, right?
I’m only 29 and this would be the least of my worries at times. The fucker’s 84. His wife probably died years ago. Lives on his own but can’t microwave a cheap Banquet spaghetti bowl without it smoldering. And eats it anyways. So I get why he’s like, hey, my vans fully engulfed, I almost died, and everyone’s freaking out. Lol
Stopped sparking car - check. Saved elderly driver - check. Call other emergency services out - check. Now, back to that pizza... So glad those officers caught the sparks and acted so quickly!

it NEEDS to be mandatory that you need to retake the test for your license or at least test cognitive, reflexes, etc when you reach a certain age. my own grandmother drive into a fucking hospital when taking my grampy to chemo, in the end it wasn’t her fault, but she would’ve failed a driving test. luckily nobody got hurt and it was a huge blessing because they found a massive tumor that day that was causing her all sorts of issues that lead to the crash. i drive by the hospital everyday and there are now huge posts up 😭😭😭
You too actually violate some specific law in most states. They cant just look at you and say "yeah, to seem too old, we're just taking that license from you". They could be arbitrarily abused by people in authority. Why do you think they have been talking about periodic retesting of elderly people? They way you can at least revoke it if they fail to pass the test at any time. Right now they can't do it until the driver commits enough violations to get enough points to have the license taken or suspended. For everything, I don't think anything this guy did would even gain points. Maybe a Negligent Operation? Possibly Failure to Yield if that's a thing in that state. None of those will get a license revoked.
I hope they found the item that fell out of his pocket as they were pulling him to safety, I think it was the bag of money he referred to...... Good job all around and I love how they ended with we're just eating pizza and watching the campfire kind of vibe lol...
"were just hanging out out here, i mean we just pulled you out of a burning car, if you feel any pain or anything, just tell me alright?" the hero says while eating a well deserved slice of Marco's Pizza. great work
My grandpa was like 86 when he got in a car accident. He loved to drive and go out but one day he didn't realize he was in a car accident where he lost his entire backseat door.... completely unaware, the police followed him all the way home 🤣 of course he lost his license after this, miss him so much ❤️ He passed away a few years later, R.I.P gramps!
the explosions are likely the tires, remember heat goes up and the tires are at the very bottom. there were only 3 explosions and he was missing 1 tire so it adds up. it also didnt sound like a flammable explosion, it sounded like something under pressure like when a tire or inner tube pops. also tires get really hot when driving so they are meant to take extreme heat for a while and tires on most cars can take over 100psi without bursting so if the tires were taking forever to heat up like you would expect that would also explain the amount of time before the explosions as the fire spread.
This city is the city I plan to make my law enforcement career in. I never knew that it happened in Kenosha until I saw the badge. This really showed a great impression on the city I want to serve.
That old codger got out, in the middle of flames, and about to hitch his pants up calmly before the officers grabbed him from the fire and yanked on him! He didn’t give 2 💩‘s what was going on! He acts and looks like he’s been through worse in his life! I love tough old men like this dude!
Something similar happened to my grandfather. He was 86 and definitely shouldnt have been driving a Lincoln town car. (Or anything). But he rammed into a brand new car in a parking lot at low speeds. He couldnt feel his feet any longer and had beginnings of dementia. Understandably the other driver was upset, but we either have to re certify in increments or watch the elderly. Because im sure this happens often
Nobody at age 86 should drive. Humans were never meant to live so long and too much can and does go wrong. Just use the public transport for everyone's safety. If you get older, you have to accept that you can't do all the things you once did.
@@DieEineMieze easier said than done. That is basically giving up every freedom and resigning to needing a caretaker. It's pretty sad and life ending for a lot of people.
@@TrunkyDunks Not every freedom. Only ones the ones that endanger other people and yourself If they have to be taken care of, they most likely aren't fit to drive anyways. Getting older and accepting you can't do the same things you once did is a sad but important part of getting old. You can't let your pride get in the way of that. There's no shame in accepting that, so them and their community don't suffer a horrible fate. Living a good and honest life just to kill someone because you were too proud it stubborn to accept you should have driven a car anymore is not exactly how people want their life to end. At least make regular tests mandatory.
Great job by the officers! In addition to the lifesaver medal, I'd put them in for the "I let my pizza get cold to do my job," award! He did have a plastic bag with money in it in his left hand, but it fell to the ground (1:30) when the officers were helping him away from the burning car. If this gentleman was young and sober, but so out of it that he didn't notice the fire or the police following him sooner, I would seriously question his ability to drive. We had a friend in Denver who drove safely until she was 102, so I don't think an automatic prohibition is needed, but a basic cognition test after 75 or so, might be a good idea.
This is a tough situation with elderly driving. My mom got in an accident and because of that had to take a driving test and failed. I agree she shouldn't have been driving, but people have to remember: it's going to be YOUR responsibility now for your elderly parent: making sure they get to their doctors appointments, doing their grocery shopping, etc.
I’ve been saying this for years, but I think once a person hits the age of 65, they need to retake their drivers test, and then again every few years. Some old people are completely fine at driving, but some, like this dude, are not.
5:55 - I see this at least once a week. I get to a service location and find the vehicle's rim is absolutely, utterly F*CKED. "How far did you drive on this???" "A block or two, I think." When I leave the service location I follow the groove in the pavement for *MILES*. I think the furthest one I was able to confirm was over 20 miles. I found the place they 'think' their tire blew and find a huge chunk taken out of a curb and a bent street sign that lines up perfectly with the dent in their bumper/fender/door, complete with the same paint as the car. In that case there was no outer rim left, they were almost down to the spokes and brake rotor.
How often do you see a car catching fire due to sparks from a wheel? Especially a rear wheel? Maybe he hit a curb or something that damaged both the tire and the gas tank?

They way you can at least revoke it if they fail to pass the test at any time. Right now they can't do it until the driver commits enough violations to get enough points to have the license taken or suspended. For everything, I don't think anything this guy did would even gain points. Maybe a Negligent Operation? Possibly Failure to Yield if that's a thing in that state. None of those will get a license revoked.
@@justforever96 holy shit dude it's a joke, calm your little nuts boy
I hope they found the item that fell out of his pocket as they were pulling him to safety, I think it was the bag of money he referred to...... Good job all around and I love how they ended with we're just eating pizza and watching the campfire kind of vibe lol...
Yep. "Fire Dept. is wrapping this up, let's finish dinner!"
I thought it was a pack of cigarettes
@@lisamarie5948 that's possible.... Either way hope they got it...
@@lisamarie5948
On pause an zoom it's a pack of smokes with what appears to be a $1 bill tucked in.
they probably seized it as civil asset forfeiture .... illegal proceeds from sale of Viagra...
"were just hanging out out here, i mean we just pulled you out of a burning car, if you feel any pain or anything, just tell me alright?" the hero says while eating a well deserved slice of Marco's Pizza. great work
All I saw was two Officers push an elderly man down, then rob him of his bill fold.
😂😂😂
Those are the tires popping. When my beater caught fire, the tires sounded just like it.
Grampa engaged the hyperdrive around 00:36
And said,
Fvkk you punk, your ain't taking me alive!!! Bahahah 😂😆 l🤣
When only your left rear wheel hits 88mph…
That was the best ending I've seen on this channel! pizza party for saving a guy. I see, that's why our police are so good in WI
My grandpa was like 86 when he got in a car accident. He loved to drive and go out but one day he didn't realize he was in a car accident where he lost his entire backseat door.... completely unaware, the police followed him all the way home 🤣 of course he lost his license after this, miss him so much ❤️ He passed away a few years later, R.I.P gramps!
Serve and Protect! These boys and girls can go home knowing they made an awesome difference. Good On Ya's!
That was intense! So glad the old man was okay! I was on the edge of my seat. Sheesh
These officers are the personifications of heroes!
the explosions are likely the tires, remember heat goes up and the tires are at the very bottom. there were only 3 explosions and he was missing 1 tire so it adds up. it also didnt sound like a flammable explosion, it sounded like something under pressure like when a tire or inner tube pops. also tires get really hot when driving so they are meant to take extreme heat for a while and tires on most cars can take over 100psi without bursting so if the tires were taking forever to heat up like you would expect that would also explain the amount of time before the explosions as the fire spread.
100 psi?im done
yes. if you think otherwise you clearly don't have much experience with tires.@@litalitvinaite
@@litalitvinaitenever tried it?
he was so sweet im glad he survived without injuries and all but it breaks my heart to see his car lost now
Grandpa Thought He Was Going Back To The Future ;)
This city is the city I plan to make my law enforcement career in. I never knew that it happened in Kenosha until I saw the badge. This really showed a great impression on the city I want to serve.
Did that man seriously not realize that his entire car was engulfed in flames?
He thought he died and was/went to hell.
It's people like this old man who can't pay attention is why we have such unsafe roadways
Yup, and old farts like him are driving everywhere everday!
Old people can be completely clueless.
@@AdamBorsetiso can young people.
when Ghostrider settles down and has a family 😆
LMFFAO!!!!!!!!!!!! 😮
I won’t have a problem giving up my license when I get too old to drive.
Nothing more wholesome than a cop eating his puff crust pizza after saving an old guy
Great job boys....have some pizza....medal to the man that pulled him out right before he would have been a well done steak.
His money fell
Out as soon as the cops grabbed him. It’s 3 feet away from the van.
Most memorable slice of pizza, EVER!
Fantastic work by the officers! We need more officers like that.
Gives a new meaning to “money to burn”. Haha. 🔥
I love the talking with your mouth full. 9:31
It's an absolute miracle this guy survived
I love how that one guy with the pizza was just chillin at the end 😂
Thank you officers! When "stupid" or unaware elderly start a fire, there is only so much you can do. Holy cow.
God Love the boys for saving grandpa.
So glad the officer was there to witness the sparks or this would be turned out much much worse!
That old codger got out, in the middle of flames, and about to hitch his pants up calmly before the officers grabbed him from the fire and yanked on him! He didn’t give 2 💩‘s what was going on! He acts and looks like he’s been through worse in his life! I love tough old men like this dude!
Just don't ask him about the war. He'll talk for hours.
It was shock. It's a thing. Your mind can go blank. Especially when you're old, reflexes slowed way down.
Something similar happened to my grandfather. He was 86 and definitely shouldnt have been driving a Lincoln town car. (Or anything). But he rammed into a brand new car in a parking lot at low speeds. He couldnt feel his feet any longer and had beginnings of dementia.
Understandably the other driver was upset, but we either have to re certify in increments or watch the elderly. Because im sure this happens often
Nobody at age 86 should drive. Humans were never meant to live so long and too much can and does go wrong. Just use the public transport for everyone's safety. If you get older, you have to accept that you can't do all the things you once did.
@@DieEineMieze easier said than done. That is basically giving up every freedom and resigning to needing a caretaker. It's pretty sad and life ending for a lot of people.
@@TrunkyDunks Not every freedom. Only ones the ones that endanger other people and yourself
If they have to be taken care of, they most likely aren't fit to drive anyways. Getting older and accepting you can't do the same things you once did is a sad but important part of getting old.
You can't let your pride get in the way of that.
There's no shame in accepting that, so them and their community don't suffer a horrible fate.
Living a good and honest life just to kill someone because you were too proud it stubborn to accept you should have driven a car anymore is not exactly how people want their life to end.
At least make regular tests mandatory.
That is incredible that he wasn’t burnt walking out of a flaming car 😳
Now that was a great video. I'm so glad no one was hurt. All they needed was marsmallows to follow the pizza.
Really gotta commend these officers. They did a great job 👏
Running towards the danger. Well done, officers. Well done.
Great job by the officers! In addition to the lifesaver medal, I'd put them in for the "I let my pizza get cold to do my job," award! He did have a plastic bag with money in it in his left hand, but it fell to the ground (1:30) when the officers were helping him away from the burning car. If this gentleman was young and sober, but so out of it that he didn't notice the fire or the police following him sooner, I would seriously question his ability to drive. We had a friend in Denver who drove safely until she was 102, so I don't think an automatic prohibition is needed, but a basic cognition test after 75 or so, might be a good idea.
I have a fond heart for elderly people, thanks to these guys who saved his life, they're true heroes.
My dad is 82 he still strong like an Ox but he drives erratically we went through hell and back, until we just had to make the car disappear.
This is a tough situation with elderly driving. My mom got in an accident and because of that had to take a driving test and failed. I agree she shouldn't have been driving, but people have to remember: it's going to be YOUR responsibility now for your elderly parent: making sure they get to their doctors appointments, doing their grocery shopping, etc.
It's a drag. Remember when your kids could start driving, relieving you of that chore.
Hmmmm 3 booms 3 tires hmmmmm what could it be
He can't drive, but he can run por president.
Gramps really is a trailblazer
This man needs to immediately go play the lottery lmao his luck was amazing
That "bag of money" can be seen on the pavement as they are picking him up !!!!!!!
I thought that was a iced tea bottle
I love that their enjoying that well deserved slice of pizza they've been waiting for!❤🍕💯🤟
Great job guys!!👍👍
I’ve been saying this for years, but I think once a person hits the age of 65, they need to retake their drivers test, and then again every few years. Some old people are completely fine at driving, but some, like this dude, are not.
LMAO THE PIZZA OMG IM DYING LMAO
5:55 - I see this at least once a week. I get to a service location and find the vehicle's rim is absolutely, utterly F*CKED.
"How far did you drive on this???"
"A block or two, I think."
When I leave the service location I follow the groove in the pavement for *MILES*. I think the furthest one I was able to confirm was over 20 miles. I found the place they 'think' their tire blew and find a huge chunk taken out of a curb and a bent street sign that lines up perfectly with the dent in their bumper/fender/door, complete with the same paint as the car. In that case there was no outer rim left, they were almost down to the spokes and brake rotor.
How often do you see a car catching fire due to sparks from a wheel? Especially a rear wheel? Maybe he hit a curb or something that damaged both the tire and the gas tank?
Well done everyone! Quick thinking and action. Very brave to approach and pull the driver away!
Ahh pizza in front of a flaming, exploding car. Nothing hits best like that.
