Commenter 1, a resident speaking during public comment, described trying to pull people who were on fire away from wreckage and said the experience continues to haunt them. “That's when I turned and I went back, and I started trying to pull people that were on fire away from the wreckage and pushing them down to put the fire out and the bodies to reach for something and move a piece of wreckage,” the resident said.

The comment centered on the speaker's personal experience at a crash or fire; the resident said, “I reached for a hand. And when I pulled it, there was nothing attached,” and added, “But worse beyond that, that I have to try and live with, is I threw it back, and I've always felt so guilty about that.”

The remarks were a first-person account of rescue attempts and the emotional aftermath. The transcript does not specify the date, location, cause of the wreckage, whether emergency services were present, or whether the comment prompted any formal response or action by the meeting body. No statutes, ordinances, motions, or votes were referenced during the excerpt provided.

Because the statement is a personal testimony, it was reported here as spoken; details such as the incident's location, the identities of victims, and any official follow-up were not specified in the speaker's remarks.
