Brave paramedics.

From what I've heard -
The pilot was injured but able to get out. His wife was more seriously injured, and trapped in the wreckage. He wasn't able to put out the fire with the onboard extinguisher but, despite being injured himself, managed to get to the house for a bigger extinguisher and fought the fire as much as he could with that.
He tried (I think with the help of a neighbour) to get his wife out of the helicopter but she eventually had to be cut free by the emergency services.

As TeeS says, the title of this thread could so easily have read rather differently.
