Billy Jan Brown rescued Eunice W. Powell from burning, Greer, South Carolina, December 5, 1993. Ms. Powell, 75, lay on the floor of the kitchen of her one-story house after fire broke out in the adjacent living room and spread quickly. Several neighbors responded to the scene and attempted a rescue, but their efforts were thwarted by flames, hear and dense smoke. One of the neighbors, Brown, 46, mold maker, crawled into the enclosed back porch, which was filled with smoke, and, using a flashlight, saw Ms. Powell in the kitchen, which also was smoke-filled, grasped Ms. Powell, and dragged her out of the house. Ms. Powell was hospitalized for treatment of smoke inhalation and burns, but she died five days later. Brown inhaled smoke, and he recovered. 68366-7865
