Walter M. Beresford
Belleville, New Jersey
Walter M. Beresford rescued Frances M. Greene from
burning, Irvington, New Jersey, April 13, 2006.
Greene, 70, was on the second floor of her two-story
house after fire erupted in a bedroom on that floor.
Flames issuing from the bedroom window caught the
attention of Beresford ,
57, a fire captain for another municipality, who,
off duty, was in the neighborhood. Beresford ran to
the burning house and with another man forced entry
through the front door. He searched the first floor
for any occupants and then started upstairs, having
to crawl because of dense, black smoke filling the
stairway. On the second floor, he heard Greene
calling for help. He crawled across a hall and into
the burning bedroom, where flames issued from the
walls and ceiling. Finding Greene lying on the
floor, Beresford secured a hold on her and, seated
on the floor, pushed himself back to the top of the
stairs, dragging her. He went down the stairs with
her to a landing, where he attempted to use a rug in
removing her from the house. Firefighters arrived
and helped move Greene away from the structure as
flames spread throughout the second floor. Both
Greene and Beresford were taken by ambulance to the
hospital, where they were treated for second-degree
burns, from which they recovered.
