Two teens escaped serious injury tonight thanks to the alert and quick thinking of @BrocktonPolice Captain Mark Porcaro. He was patrolling the area moments after a car crashed into a bldg. He got the occupants away before the car & bldg caught fire.@MayorBillCarp @Brymaker pic.twitter.com/iatVq8lR0b
