Initially, the caller said that the person inside might be okay. The caller also said that people were getting a water hose because of "smoke." Throughout the call, panicked voices are heard in the background. The caller added that there was "lots of smoke" and there was somebody trapped in the car.

The dispatcher reassures the caller that paramedics were on their way and they should get the driver out of the car if we can. "But I need you to stay in a safe location. Don’t put yourself in any danger," the dispatcher is heard saying.

Before Heche's fatal car crash, the actress had bought a red wig from a nearby salon. According to CNN, nearly 60 firefighters were present on scene to extinguish the flames and recuse the actress.

The 53-year-old actress succumbed to her injuries from the crash. Doctors determined that Anne had suffered "a severe anoxic brain injury and [remained] in a coma, in critical condition."

She was removed from life support on Sunday, August 14, after suitable organ recipients were identified by health officials. Heche was reportedly "high on cocaine". The drug was found in her bloodstream after the crash, but she had not been drinking alcohol.

Hollywood celebrites, friends, colleagues and fellow entertainers took to social media to mourn and pay tributes to the late star, including her ex Ellen DeGeneres, who said, "This is a sad day. I'm sending Anne's children, family and friends all of my love." The couple dated from 1997 until 2000, becoming one of Hollywood’s most famous same-sex couples.

Director James Gunn said in a tweet, "Honest to God, I think maybe the best acting performance I’ve ever seen in my life was Anne Heche in PROOF on Broadway. #RIP."
