<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nGlenn Chancey was working at a Publix Super Markets, Inc. warehouse in Lakeland when he heard a loud crash and quickly drove his spotter truck to the scene, and LFD press release said, giving the following account: <\/p>\n\n\n\n On scene, he observed two vehicles had collided and one was upside-down with severe damage, and the victim was exiting with the help of a bystander, however. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The release went on to describe how the other vehicle was upright with heavy damage, but flames were visible from this vehicle. Chancy rushed toward the car fire with an extinguisher he had grabbed from his spotter truck. Eventually, the extinguisher emptied. Through the still-burning wreck, he spotted a victim inside the vehicle who appeared to be unconscious. Chancey then used the fire extinguisher to try to break the driver\u2019s side rear window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He and another bystander repeatedly attempted to break the window but could not get through the window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The victim gained consciousness and was able to unbuckle himself and unlock the door. With the fire beginning to engulf the vehicle, according to the release, Chancy and the bystander ran to the passenger side rear door and pulled the victim from the burning vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Chancey will receive an official Certificate of Recognition from LFD Fire Chiefs on Wednesday at 9 a.m. at Lakeland Fire Station 1, which is located at 701 E Main Street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Publix warehouse associate who sprang into action and helped to pull a crash victim from a burning car will be recognized for his actions Wednesday by the Lakeland Fire Department. … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19230,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"wpai_generated_summary":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"{title}\n\n{excerpt}\n\n{url}","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","default_image_id":71799,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[12,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local","category-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23679\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/293350419_384920207064212_445129582689265574_n-1024x683.jpg\")
