I haven't seen this type of behavior in the Southwest.
Last year in Monument Valley there was a plane crash in which the pilot was pinned into the cockpit and was severely wounded and unconscious. First on the scene were two locals who witnessed the crash and ran to the crash scene since the terrain was too rough to drive through with their 2WD vehicles. They cupped the leaking fuel to keep it from dripping onto the unconscious pilot while others worked to free him. One spark and they all would have gone up.
This past weekend just North of Phoenix (mile marker 241 on I-17 N), I saw a tire blow on a 30-pax bus. The bus swerved and eventually flipped on its side on the shoulder of the freeway. There just happened to be a group of exotic race car enthusiasts (exotic race cars, not exotic enthusiasts
) heading North for lunch, and several Ferrari/Lamborghini drivers pulled over to assist the evacuation of all passengers and the driver. Several passersby also slowed down to provide water and snacks to the passengers while they waited for the police to arrive. The bus was also leaking fuel and everyone focused on getting the passengers safely away from the crash site.
None of these people (to my knowledge) were first responders. Plenty of people still run towards danger to help out when they can.
