Danny Ray Phelps saved Helen M. Beighey from burning, Tiro, Ohio, December 24, 1984. Miss Beighey, 61, was in her house when fire broke out in a first-floor utility room. A neighbor, Phelps, 38, cutter operator, saw the flames and ran to the house. Learning that Miss Beighey was still inside, he kicked open the front door, entered the dark, smoke-filled living room, and searched for her. After being forced out by the smoke, Phelps re-entered the house and found Miss Beighey lying on the floor. He dragged her to the doorway, where he was aided by another man in carrying her to safety. Miss Beighey was treated at the hospital for effects of the fire, and Phelps required oxygen for smoke inhalation, from which he recovered. 60138-6998
