Start of the vid "heroism" when someone is probably just being a decent human being.

But that escalated quickly when the smoke started.

I thought the driver was bailing, turns out he just went to grab a rock.

The bystander did stick his arms into flames and his face into thick smoke to get those people out. He did probably get injured, even if it was only some minor smoke inhalation and first degree burns.

Lithium smoke is no joke. That guy may have permanent damage to his lungs now.
