Lorne Mansky noticed fire flames from underneath a van carrying a cardboard box.

He got the van’s driver to pull over, but the van choked and stopped moving.

Mansky said he grabbed a broomstick from a neighbouring yard and directed a bystander to help get the box from under the van.

After getting two of three passengers out, someone in a wheelchair was still secured in the back of the van but the lift electronics had stopped working.

The rescue was successful, and no one was hurt.
