August 1, 2002 - 11:20am - Unit #65 was turning from Bowles Ave. into his subdivision when he spotted a car parked at the entrance partially blocking the road. A teenage male was standing next to the car. He saw the emergency lights on 65's car and flagged down 65. He stated that his car was out of gas and asked 65 for a ride to a nearby gas station. 65 told him that this was his subdivision and he would drive home, get his gallon of gas, and return with it. The teen stayed with his car and 65 returned to him about two minutes later (with the gas). The teen poured the gas into the tank, started the engine, thanked 65, and drove away.

August 20, 2002 - 7:00am - Unit #02 was traveling on I-55 crossing the Mississippi River into IL on his way to school when he saw a motorist on the shoulder with flares out behind his car.

August 20, 2002 - 7:30am - Unit #02 was still on his way to school on I-55/I-70 near Edwardsville IL, when he saw smoke ahead of him on the highway. As he got closer, he saw a car on the shoulder with flames coming out of the driver's compartment. There was a man standing behind the car trying to flag down help. 02 was about to stop and help but he saw a police car coming up behind him with its lights on. 02 figured the officer was responding to the car fire so he decided not to stop because he didn't want to be late for his class. The officer didn't stop for the car fire. Instead, he drove past it and proceeded to pull over a speeder 200 yards in front of the car fire. 02 saw this (and couldn't believe it) and did a U-turn in the median to get back to the car fire. 02 stopped behind the car on fire, got out his fire extinguisher, and started to put out the fire. A trucker had stopped and was also helping put out the fire with his extinguisher. 02 and the trucker put out the fire in a minute and 02 told the driver he had to get going. As 02 got back onto the highway to get to school, he noticed the Trooper was writing a ticket for the car he pulled over and was completely ignoring the car fire behind him.
