In April, Letter Carrier Tesfaye Deyasso was returning to his Minneapolis home after his shift when he came upon a car ablaze with the driver trapped inside.

Deyasso and several others attempted to rescue the man, but a guardrail blocked the driver’s door and flames prevented access to the passenger door.

One rescuer was able to break the driver’s window, allowing Deyasso and others to pull the man from the vehicle as the car went up in flames.

The rescue was captured by another vehicle’s dashcam and received national news coverage.

The man was taken to a nearby hospital and had no reported injuries.

The driver and his wife later took all of his rescuers to brunch.

“Tes said the driver was very emotional,” said Dannette Kramer, customer services supervisor for the St. Louis Park, MN, Post Office, where Deyasso works.
