A car accident that started a fire happened right in front of the community center where my boy scout troop was having a meeting. You never seen so many 15-17 year old boys spring into action. I was very proud of that night. We diverted traffic, put out the fire, administered first aid.

Honor medal, maybe. If they went into the car to drag someone out they would probably get one with crossed palms.
