Cudos to them and all a speed and full, as possible, recovery.

:shrug:

The firefighters very bravely saved the boy who was strapped in the back, but the other people saved the mother and daughter.

Before anyone says anything stupid about the cameraman, note that he was the one who knew that the explosion was "just a tire" and got the guys back to work when they were about to run away thinking that the gas tank or something was going up.

MILWAUKEE -- Off-duty firemen, policemen and perfect strangers rushed to save a family from their burning car Sunday evening.

Neighbors Save Family From Burning Car
Images: Neighbors Pull Family From Burning Van
A woman from Tennessee lost control of her van and crashed into a tree near 22nd Place and Layton Avenue between 5 and 6 p.m.
Neighbors rushed to help -- some broke windows, others grabbed garden hoses and one man kept his video camera rolling.
When Jerry Lepkowski saw the smoke and flames he grabbed his video camera and ran toward the action. He had no idea he was about to record an amazing and heroic rescue.
Neighbors and drivers were the first people on the scene. Almost immediately they pulled a little girl from the burning minivan, but that was just the beginning.
With the girl’s mother and brother trapped inside, two men banged at the van's window with metal pipes until it broke apart, freeing the mother.
That's when two off-duty firefighters showed up and with a child still inside they rushed into the burning car.
Despite the lack of protective clothes and the blistering heat, the men scrambled to free the child from a seatbelt.
As the fire grew, an off-duty Milwaukee Police lieutenant showed up with two fire extinguishers and neighbors rushed in with garden hoses.
Another twenty seconds passed and just as it looks like the car is going to burn up one of the firefighters frees the 4-year-old boy.
He is badly burned, but alive, and was rushed away from the flames and sprayed down with cold water.
Neighbors said they are amazed everyone survived.
“I would do it for my kids so that's why I stopped to get in there,” Lepkowski said. “I’m still shaken, you know, but I’ll never forget it.”
One of the off-duty fire fighters had serious burns to his arm the other needed stitches.
Milwaukee Police Lt. Mark Wroblewski received some minor burns.
“The neighborhood really came out as well with hoses,” Wroblewski said. “It shows the true sprit of the city.”
The boy had burns on 30 percent of his body and is currently in critical condition at Children’s Hospital.
The mother and sister escaped with minor injuries.

There were enough rescuers already,so film and file.
