Former Brookfield firefighter Jim Docktor Jr. was able to smash out a car window and remove the badly injured driver.  Other bystanders helped pull the driver further from the car.  Docktor then continued to work. 

First arriving Fire and Police personnel indicated that had he not removed the driver when he did, the man would have burned alive in the vehicle.  Docktor's father is a past chief of the volunteer fire company.
