A pair of off-duty Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue firefighters are describing the moments they helped pull an injured driver from a burning car in Weston.

BSFR units responded to the scene of the single-vehicle crash along the southbound lanes, just north of Royal Palm Boulevard, at around 7 a.m. on Sunday.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the vehicle veered off the roadway and struck a light pole, sparking a small fire.

Chris Florea and Steve Krivjanik, lieutenants for BSFR, were both traveling nearby heading to work at the time of the crash.

“We saw a plume of smoke, saw the vehicle there, saw a person inside. I thought it was really critical,” said Krivjanik.

“As I was getting closer, I noticed an arm waving outside the driver’s side window,” said Florea.
