Today, the life-saving AWESOME is in Edison, New Jersey, and it’s a good reminder that NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES! Charles Parry was simply waiting in line for gas around 6 a.m. in Edison when he saw a vehicle suddenly lose control, accelerate wildly, and crash into a sign. As flames began to rise from the hood, Parry didn’t hesitate. Realizing he had only seconds, Parry fought to free the trapped driver. The seatbelt wouldn’t budge, and the flames were growing. Charles said, “Once the flames started getting bigger, I just started yanking him as hard as I could.” Thanks to his quick thinking and courage, Parry was able to pull the man to safety just in time before the car erupted in flames. Though he inhaled some smoke, Parry is safe. Being the hero that the day needed, Charles, THAT’S AWESOME.
