Prince George's Fire Department Battalion Chief Danny Fletcher was given the Emergency Services Award for rescuing a man from a burning car twice while off duty.
Fletcher received the award Thursday.
The firefighter was off duty and wasn't wearing protective equipment when he spotted a car in a big ball of fire and rushed to save the man earlier this month in Anne Arundel County.
Fletcher pulled the man out of the car. However, the man got up and ran back into the vehicle and locked the door. But Fletcher was able to remove the man from the car a second time. The man survived the car fire.
