He discovered a man and woman (unauthorized occupants) trapped by very intense fire at a window behind security bars, and ran 150 yards back to ambulance, grabbed his duty axe from the ambulance, and returned to the window in a Herculean and ultimately successful effort to save their lives. The woman was treated for a hand laceration before declining further care, while the uninjured man quickly departed the scene; The fire's cause remains under active investigation; Brian Humphrey
