Likewise, which is why I put myself as just an average passerby. I'm not sure a many-years-lapsed CPR certification and some Making Light (etc) posts really count. *sheepish*
This is one of those things I really should remedy at some point. It seems a good and useful thing to be more current in.
Edit: oh, and no cars on fire here. The one time I was in a wreck I did get out of the car, but it wasn't because of any fear of fire. (The car was upside-down and ended up totaled, but I was totally fine. Just a little bit dazed/shocky from the adrenaline and the surreality of going from "heading out of my driveway, straight down the same road as always" to "EVADING CARS ACK I'M ROLLING" in the cornfield. Fire didn't really occur to me as a worry at the time. There was no smell of smoke or gasoline, either, so no cause to think it'd be a danger even if I'd been thinking that analytically.)
