Dennis L. Hall helped to save Timothy D. Sparrow from burning, Hyattsville, Maryland, April 26, 1988. Timothy, 11, was inside his family’s one-story house when fire broke out in the kitchen and filled the house with dense smoke. A neighbor, Hall, 40, construction worker, entered the house through its front door to search for Timothy but was forced out by the smoke. He then crawled back inside with another man and resumed searching. After the other man found Timothy unconscious in the bathroom and began to drag him out, Hall joined him, and together they carried Timothy outside to safety. Timothy required hospital treatment for smoke inhalation, and he recovered.
