Daniel Farling St. John died attempting to save Thomas W. Etter from burning, Prineville, Oregon, August 4, 1985. Passing through the neighborhood, St. John, 20, wood mill stacker, came upon Etter’s burning residence. After opening the front door of the house and pounding on its windows to alert any occupants, St. John began to fight the fire with a garden hose. Etter’s son, who lived across the street, ran into the burning house, shouting for his father. St. John dropped the hose and also ran in to search for Etter, who had earlier left the premises. The son exited shortly. Arriving firemen found St. John unconscious in a smoke-filled bedroom and removed him. He died of smoke inhalation. 60577-7027
