Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Kyle Wetter was driving home from Camp Pendleton on Dec. 7, 2020, when the car in front of him burst into flames.
Seconds before, Wetter had seen a gas can fall out of a truck and become wedged between the car and the pavement. Sparks flew and flames erupted around the car. The driver of the burning vehicle hit the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road. Wetter followed suit.
“All I could think at first was what the heck happened?” Wetter said, according to a Marine Corps release. “Immediately, I was like I need to help them any way I can.”
