Henry A. Avila helped to save Gregory H. Marmolejo from burning, Los Angeles, California, December 29, 1980. Marmolejo, 65, lay unconscious in his automobile, the engine compartment of which was aflame. Avila, 24, welder, partially entered the auto, in which heat and smoke had built up, to assist another man in moving Marmolejo to the door of the auto. A third man arrived; the three then removed Marmolejo shortly before the vehicle was completely engulfed in flames. Marmolejo recovered from his injuries; Avila was not injured.
