Just because the car had some smoke coming out of it, doesn't mean it was full on "burning." She is a nurse, not trained in extraction techniques, like firemen are, she could have gotten sued had the officer gotten paralyzed or died due to her full nelson extraction. She should have called 911, waited for fire and rescue, then offered her services, if needed, after they got pulled out. She didn't deserve 10 months in jail though.
