After several attempts, Trooper Iovine successfully pried open the driver’s door and attempted to remove the driver’s seatbelt as a fire ignited in the engine compartment of the vehcile. The driver did not respond to the Troopers and had a strong grip on the steering wheel which made it difficult to remove him. After several tries, A/Lt.
