Detroit firefighter to be awarded for rescuing man trapped in burning home

The annual Above and Beyond Awards will be held Thursday night, honoring Detroit’s police, fire and emergency responders -- including a firefighter who ran into a burning home in search of the homeowner who had made the wrong decision and was trapped. About seven months ago, Jim Davenport was rescued from his home in Palmer Woods by Sargeat Joe Easterling. But, both men remember those critical moments like it was yesterday.
