Patrick Henry MeCroan helped to rescue Ronald J. Munyak from burning, Fort Pierce, Florida, April 15, 1977. When his automobile collided with a tree, Munyak, 18, was rendered unconscious and dense smoke filled the vehicle, beneath which flames broke out from leaking gasoline. McCroan, 21, groundskeeper, and two other men ran to the automobile. Flames had appeared inside the vehicle as McCroan and the other men reached in through the open front window and grasped Munyak. With two tries, McCroan and the two men pulled Munyak out of the automobile, which became totally engulfed in flames. Munyak recovered from extensive burns. McCroan’s burns were minor. 55751-6315
