A group of people including two off-duty firefighters and an off-duty police lieutenant rescued a woman and her two children from a burning SUV that crashed on Milwaukee's south side Sunday afternoon.

Most of the rescue was filmed by a bystander. The video shows the 1992 Chevrolet Blazer on its left side near S. 22nd Place and W. Layton Ave., its back half engulfed in flames and black smoke.

Two men eventually use metal pipes to break through the windshield, freeing the woman, who is a 32-year-old Tennessee resident, and her 2-year-old daughter.

Holy carp! It’s bad that the baby and firefighter got burned so, but at least no one died. Yikes!

There was an exciting SUV incident here in Tempe this weekend, too. A drunk drove a "borrowed" SUV up on a lawn and through the side of a garage, luckily missing an 84-year-old woman sleeping in a bedroom nearby.
