Raymond A. Burcker helped to save William F. Frenzel from burning, Charles Town, West Virginia, May 24, 1972. When the small airplane in which they were riding crash-landed in a field, Frenzel, 46, aerial photography pilot, and an aerial photographer were injured; and fire broke out on one wing of the plane near the fuel tank. The photographer aided Frenzel, who outweighed him greatly, in getting out of the aircraft but was unable to move him away from it. Buraker, 23, factory inspector, was attracted and ran to alongside the plane, on which the flames were spreading. He moved Frenzel a short distance. Another man then aided Burcker in moving Frenzel a safe distance from the plane, which soon afterward was completely engulfed by flames. 52736-5980
