DANVILLE, Ill. (WAND) - Two paramedics are being honored by the American Red Cross for saving a person from a fiery car crash last year. 

In February 2025, the Carle ambulance crew of Paramedics Jow Blew and Adam Harris arrived at a single-vehicle crash on Grape Creek Rd. in rural Danville. 

As Blew tried to check the unconscious driver for a pulse, the vehicle burst into flames. 

Blew and Harris worked together to get the driver out through the window just seconds before flames overtook the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

The driver was able to get medical care and survived the crash. 

The American Red Cross honored the team for their courage. Blew and Harris received the Certificates of Extraordinary Personal Action. 

Director of Carle Arrow Ambulance Justin Stalter said their actions “exemplify their work ethic and how lucky we are to have them as Arrow Paramedics.”
Red Cross Executive Director Lyn Hruska said their quick response “showcased their bravery, compassion and willingness to step up and help those in need.”
