Steven Leroy Krick died attempting to save Michael S. Haynes from suffocation, Chesterfield., Indiana, December 19, 1974. Fire broke out in a one-story frame dwelling in which Michael, 3, was in his room some distance from that occupied by his parents, who tried to find him but could not because of intense heat and dense smoke. They alerted Krick, 26, apprentice toolmaker, who broke a window of Michael’s room and climbed in but was forced out by the heat and smoke. Krick and the father then entered the living room but retreated because of worsening conditions. Unnoticed, Krick again entered the burning house. Firemen found Krick and Michael together in the latter’s room. Both succumbed. 54382-6149
