Neil Jay Rosenberg saved Robert L. Ingram and died attempting to rescue Crystal L. and Carol Ingram and Tara Verrier from burning, Westerly, Rhode Island, July 17, 2002. Ingram, 68, who required the use of a wheelchair, was in a first-floor bedroom of his family’s two-story house after fire broke out in the living room in the early morning. Alerted to the fire, his stepson, Rosenberg, 23, cook, responded to his bedroom from the second floor and evacuated Ingram from the house, through its back door. Rosenberg then turned and re-entered the house, in which flames were spreading quickly. He was next seen at a window in the second-floor bedroom of his half sisters, Crystal, 10, and Carol, 9. They died in the fire, as did Rosenberg’s girlfriend, Ms. Verrier, 21, who was in another bedroom on the second floor.
