On July 10, Leatherwood was driving on an Interstate just west of Atlanta, Georgia, when he noticed smoke and sparks coming from underneath a Ford pickup truck ahead of him. Leatherwood grabbed his fire extinguisher and began spraying the underside of the vehicle to prevent the fire from spreading. “I looked at that car seat and luckily there wasn’t a baby in it,” said the retired rancher and grandfather who has been driving a truck for two years. “I wasn’t worried about anything else other than if there was a little one inside that pickup truck,” he said. “I would hope that anyone would do that in that situation, whether they had a fire extinguisher or not.”
