Michael A. Jazinski saved Daniel S. Ben-Hur from burning, Glendale, Wisconsin, October 24, 1982. Daniel, 13, was in the bathroom of his family’s one-story home, which was aflame. Having just fled the house, Michael, 17, high school student, climbed through the bathroom window and located Daniel. Despite dense smoke, intense heat, and flames, Michael led Daniel to the window and pushed him out. The heat and smoke caused Michael to collapse partially before he was able to climb out the window himself. He and Daniel were hospitalized for smoke inhalation; in addition, Michael suffered first- and second-degree burns. Both boys recovered.
