On October 3, Carlos Gonzalez began his day as a pressure washing contractor but ended his day as a hero.
Carlos, owner of New Look Power Wash in Fairfield, California, was driving home after cleaning a San Francisco hotel when he noticed traffic was stopping ahead. It was raining heavily, and he could see a car that was “obviously” facing the wrong direction. “I thought it was just a spinout, but as I got closer I noticed a woman standing next the car holding her arm,” he explains.
No one else had stopped to help, so Carlos pulled over. “The woman walked very fast towards me and obviously had an arm injury,” he explains. By then, some other drivers stopped to help. Carlos instructed the woman to go sit in one of other vehicles that had stopped to assist. He told another individual to call 9-1-1.
However, there was a bigger problem. “There was fire billowing out under the hood of her car and heavy black smoke was pouring out,” he explains. He looked at the car and determined he might be able to put the fire out with his pressure washer.
He asked several people to stop traffic so he could back his Landa trailer up to get it within 150 feet of the fire. “I handed the Landa key to a gentleman and gave him instructions on what I wanted him to do relating to turning the pressure washer on,” he says. “I put on a ladder-saver nozzle, as I figured this would be my best bet to knock the fire down,” Carlos explains. “As I proceeded to apply water to the fire, a small explosion took place under the hood. I continued to apply the water up next to the car and eventually put the fire out.”
Shortly thereafter, the California Highway Patrol and fire department arrived. Both were extremely thankful to Carlos’ quick thinking and bravery. Carlos says he always tries to keep extra water in his tanks for instances like this, and to help drivers whose vehicles have overheated and need water for their radiators.
Carlos’ heroic efforts serve as a great example of how everyday pressure washing contractors give back every day.

ORINDA — Two men working as window-washers were set on fire and severely burned after they rode a cherry picker into a power line Saturday morning while stunned attendees of the Orinda Farmers Market watched in horror.
Two explosions and an arc of fire erupted above a parking lot when the bucket of the cherry picker veered into the high-voltage transmission line, causing a chaotic scene at the weekly outdoor market.
“I look up and see this ball of fire and smoke,” said Russell Abraham, an Orinda resident who had come to the market to shop. “One guy was slumped over the controls, unconscious and on fire. The other guy was on his back on fire.”
The men, who regained consciousness and spoke with firefighters as they were rescued, were airlifted from a field to the burn center at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. They suffered second- and third-degree burns all across their bodies, said Battalion Chief Darrell Lee of the Moraga-Orinda Fire District.
“Their clothes burned off,” he said. A burn unit nurse said the victims were in very critical condition late Saturday night.
The two men had been pressure-washing the windows of a three-story brick office building on Orinda Way, not far from the entrance to the farmers market, shortly before 10 a.m. After the explosion, many bystanders rushed to help but could do little to reach the men who were perched in a bucket raised nearly 30 feet above the Vintage Office Building parking lot.
Abraham said the controls to the cherry-picker “were cooked,” making it impossible to steer the basket back down.
After the men, one of whom was bleeding, began to regain consciousness, witnesses said the victims began putting the fire out with their hands and by pulling off their own clothes.
“I can’t get it out of my head right now. It was pretty brutal,” said Brian Dawson of Discovery Bay, who was working a booth at the market when he felt and heard the explosions.
“We tried to get water out there but there was just not enough pressure,” Dawson said.
Several bystanders were critical of emergency crews for taking too long to get to the scene, and then waiting before rescuing the men.
“It took them close to an hour before they even retrieved these guys,” Abraham said.
The city-to-city transmission line the cherry picker hit carries more than 150,000 volts, fire officials said, and it was a challenge to rescue the men without causing more injuries to others.
“It was difficult to access the victims because the wires were still alive,” Lee said. One live wire was still draped over the cherry picker and another on the ground when firefighters arrived to the scene, he said.
“We’re dealing with high tension power lines here. We’re not total experts with power lines,” Lee said. “We have to wait for PG&E to shut off the power.”
It also would have been dangerous to hose the men with water, Lee said, because water conducts electricity.
The rescue started about 10:30 a.m., shortly after PG&E crews arrived and tested to ensure no power was running through the transmission line, said utility spokesman Blair Jones.
Abraham, a longtime Orinda resident, hoped the two victims would survive.
“I hope they live. They got burned pretty bad,” he said.
The incident left many customers of the farmers market and a nearby RiteAid store stranded for hours as firefighters closed off parking lots because of the downed wires. Power was restored along Orinda Way after a short outage.
California Division of Occupational Safety and Health investigators have opened a formal investigation into the incident, according to the City of Orinda.
