to save someone from a burning vehicle.
<broken link removed>SNOQUALMIE PASS, Wash. – An Idaho woman who acted as a good Samaritan when a child was stuck inside a burning truck could face charges - all over a fire extinguisher.
"I'm in absolute shock," said Tequila Isaacson who jumped in to help when the pickup truck went up in flames.
It happened near the Washington State Department of Transportation restroom building on Snoqualmie Pass.
On Tuesday one of the glass front doors on the neighboring Red Mountain Coffee remained boarded up after Isaacson broke the window on Sunday to gain access to a fire extinguisher.
"He was telling me that using a fire extinguisher that doesn't belong to me is theft and you're not allowed to steal it, no matter how good your intentions," she said.
Isaacson said the trooper told her she would need to pay to replace the glass on the door, or else.
"He out right stated that unless I was willing to pay for it right then and there, he would be charging me with burglary," said Isaacson.
