A Wadsworth police officer is being recognized for his efforts in helping two women whose vehicle burst into flames at the side of the road last week. According to the Wadsworth Police Department, it happened on state Route 57 on Jan. 2. Police were initially called to reports of a vehicle driving erratically. Officer Cody Lamielle, who was on routine patrol, spotted the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. The driver, Darlene Richmond, of Copley, told him she was having mechanical difficulties. Lamielle spotted smoke and flames coming from under the hood and was able to get the driver and her elderly mother to safety. “It’s a blessing I’m alive. I have an angel, and maybe I have two at this point. I know I could be dead right now and I don’t want to be dead. I have too much to live for.” Richmond said her 88-year-old mother, Helen Miller, who has Alzheimer’s, was in the passenger seat.

“I mean, she’s alive. I’m not ready to lose her, I know that much,” she said, crediting Lamielle, who she calls an angel. “Everything goes to him because if he wouldn’t have been there, I wouldn’t have been able to do this. I’m willing to admit that I can’t always pick her up; I don’t have enough strength to pick her up, so he did what he had to do, he never lost his cool.” Wadsworth Police Chief Randall Reinke said, “It didn’t surprise me. Cody is a very good young officer, and when I saw it, I was very impressed with how he kept his calm, took the right actions and it’s what I expected from him, and he did a great job. It goes to show you never know what you’re going to encounter, you have to be prepared for any call and rely on your training and good judgment.”

  5. There are at least 2 towns of Wadsworth in the U.S., Illinois and Ohio. I don't know which one this incident occurred in. I didn't see anything on the video or in the description text about what state this incident took place in. Does anyone know?

  7. Kudos , not only to the police office , but to everybody who takes care of their loved ones into old age .

  14. Police work – 99.9 lbs of SH!T with .1lbs of sugar – good thing we have those men and women who think thats a good enough deal to do the job.

  17. That happened to me when I was a teenager where the fire was coming up from the gas pedal really fast . I was so scared and didn't know what to do. I started running to get home to let my mom know when all of a sudden a man stopped and told me to get in and he would take me home so I could get my mom (her car). Then he brought us back to the car that was completely burnt to almost nothing. It is one of those moments I will never forget and thankful for such a caring man to help along with being blessed the fire dept helped put out the fire. GOD bless the Police Officer Cody Lamielle being so caring 🙏

  18. why on earth was the driver still in the car when he arrived??? Where there's smoke, most of the time it means it's brother Fire is right behind him.

  22. Drive past here everyday. I remember seeing the big ass burn mark on the side of the road and wondering what happened. Now I know.

  38. Very good rescue officer. That engine fire got big pretty quick. Those people are alive and safe because of you. As far as I'm concerned you are a hero and are great person. Thank you for your loyal and brave service.

  42. I've watched the whole video. Still waiting for the car fire. I see a TRUCK. Looks like either a GMC Canyon, or Chevy Colorado pick up TRUCK. NOT car.

  44. to anybody wondering about if officer had a fire extinguisher in patrol car there are different types of extinguishers maybe the ones in cop cars are not rated for gasoline in which case it will only make it worse so he didn't take that chance

  49. Cops save people from burning cars all the time, by letting them know how stupid they are still inside a smoking vehicle that runs on that flammable stuff called gasoline
