BROOME COUNTY SHERIFF HELPS TO RESCUE FAMILY INJURED IN CAR CRASH

As Broome County Sheriff David Harder drove to work, his thoughts were on budgets and consolation proposals, typical administrative duties that constantly flood any Sheriff's mind. But suddenly, Sheriff Harder was in a situation that took him back 48 years to when he was a deputy sheriff assigned to road patrol.

The car in front of him crashed through the guard rail and tumbled down a steep embankment. As the vehicle landed, it burst into flames. Sheriff Harder quickly notified the county’s 911 center, grabbed his fire extinguisher and headed for the burning car. He was able to knock the fire down enough to determine that there were four people -a awoman and three children- and a dog inside. The Sheriff called to a passing motorist who was standing at the top of the hill to come down and help.
