Robert Deyo Clelland rescued Arthur T. Jenkins from burning, Orange, California, June 20, 1976. Following an automobile accident at night, Jenkins, 42, lay unconscious an the seat of his convertible as flames resulting from leaking gasoline spread from the rear bumper to the back of the front seat. Clelland, 29, bartender, ran to the convertible and opened the door. Because flames then were lapping over the back of the seat, Clelland crawled under the steering column in order to release the seat belt holding Jenkins. Backing out, Clelland then pulled Jenkins from the automobile and rolled him on the pavement to put out flames on him. By that time the entire interior of the convertible was afire. Jenkins required hospitalization for extensive burns. 55866-6318
