The City of Good Neighbors is living up to its name as people dig out from under a foot of snow.

City leaders say a private plow caught fire sometime Saturday night and two Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority workers rescued the driver.

"The vehicle was engulfed in flames in the front. The driver had some kind of leg injury I'm told, and was not able to exit the vehicle on his own," said Mayor Byron Brown. "It was very fortunate that the two BMHA employees came on the scene and got him out of the vehicle.  If that had not occurred, we might be dealing with a different circumstance right now."

Meanwhile, plow crews spent the night clearing Buffalo's busiest roads and are now working to dig out the area's side streets.
