 A 12-year-old Norristown boy who died last year after running back into his house to try to save his father from a raging fire is one of 20 recipients of a national award honoring acts of bravery, the Pittsburgh-based Carnegie Hero Fund Commission announced Wednesday. 
  
 Sanford Harling III, nicknamed "Man Man," died after attempting to rescue his father, Sanford Harling Jr., from their burning home on the morning of Feb. 5, 2016. 
  
 He didn't realize that his 58-year-old father, who was recovering from hip-replacement surgery, was able to escape from a second-floor window of their three-story brick house. 
  
 The Carnegie Medal is awarded throughout the United States and Canada to those who display "acts of outstanding civilian heroism" in risking their lives to save others, the fund said in a news release. Sanford was the youngest recipient and the only one from Pennsylvania. 
  
 Two others awarded the medal this month -- a 35-year-old man from Tennessee and a 56-year-old Massachusetts man -- had also died during their heroic acts. 
  
 Harling Jr., now 59, called his son "my hero" and "my angel" in a phone interview Wednesday. About 9 a.m. that tragic day, the father noticed fire and smoke on the first floor of the family's house on the 1000 block of Markley Street. 
  
 "I yelled for everybody to get up and get out of the house," he said. His wife, Dana Henderson; his son, "Man Man"; his 14-year-old daughter; and his 23-year-old stepson had gotten out, but the father was trapped on the second floor by the growing flames. 
  
 Harling Jr. searched for a window to jump from and realized that if he dived out of his son's bedroom, he could land on grass. 
  
 About that same time, Harling Jr. later learned, his son broke free from a family friend who was holding him outside the house. "I’m going to go back in to get my dad because he’s walking with a walker," his son told the friend. 
  
 Sanford never made it out. Firefighters later found him on the first floor. 
  
 The seventh grader at Lakeside School in North Wales, who was part of the Norristown Youth Eagles Football Program, had died of smoke inhalation and thermal burns. 
  
 His father suffered some broken ribs and fractures in his back, femur, and the same hip on which he had had surgery. 
  
 "I’m still trying to recover," he said. He had to use a wheelchair for a few months and is now on crutches. 
  
 The family has since moved to a new home in Norristown. 
  
 The Norristown Fire Department nominated Sanford for the award. "As we said from the beginning, he was a hero," Fire Chief Tom O'Donnell said. 
  
 Eric Zahren, executive director of the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, a private foundation, said each award comes with a one-time initial grant of $5,000. 
  
 Since the fund's inception in 1904 by industrialist-philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, 9,934 people have received awards, announced quarterly, and the fund has given $38.9 million in one-time grants, scholarship aid, death benefits, and continuing assistance. ||||| NORRISTOWN, PA -- Norristown's "boy hero," Sanford Harling III, has been recognized by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission for his heroic actions on that fateful day last February. 
  
 Harling, also known as "Man Man," rushed back inside his burning Markley Street home on Feb. 5, 2016 to rescue his father, Sanford Harling Jr., who required the use of a walker. 
  
 But his father, finding the first floor exit blocked off by flames, had made his way to the second floor, where he leaped from a window and landed in the grass, sustaining serious injuries but surviving. 
  
 Man Man, however, never made it out. 
  
 When firefighters re-entered the home, they found that he had died of smoke inhalation and thermal burns. 
  
 Harling was hailed as a national hero in the wake of the event, and the Carnegie Hero Fund has made it official by naming him one of their 20 heroes for 2017 on Wednesday. 
  
 Many of the other individuals who received the 2017 award were recognized for attempting to save victims from drowning, fire, or assault. Of the 20, Harling was one of only three who passed away in his act of heroism. 
  
 Harling's family will also receive a monetary grant - the exact amount of which was not disclosed - in recognition of his heroism. 
  
 In a "Deed of Trust" written out in 1904, Andrew Carnegie laid out in grand terms the need for recognition of heroes in our society: 
  
  
  
 "Gentlemen: We live in a heroic age. Not seldom are we thrilled by deeds of heroism where men or women are injured or lose their lives in attempting to preserve or rescue their fellows; such the heroes of civilization. The heroes of barbarism maimed or killed theirs. I have long felt that the heroes and those dependent upon them should be freed from pecuniary cares resulting from their heroism." 
  
 A total of 9,934 heroic individuals have been honored since the award's established 113 years ago.

 Tragically, on Friday, February 05, 2016, the life of Sanford Harling III was cut short. Sanford died after running into their burning home in an attempt to save his father. He never made it back out. 
  
  
  
 Born on June 6, 2003, Sanford, also known as “Man Man”, was only 12 year old and a member of our Norristown Youth Eagles football family. In 2015, he played on the 6th grade team. On the football field, Sanford could be seen cheering on his teammates and praying for them. Off the field, his personality was bright and comical. 
  
  
  
 He is survived by his loving mother, Dana, his father Sanford, Jr., and his 8 siblings. Our goal is to raise money to help the family recover what they lost in the fire and to give Sanford the proper burial that a hero deserves. The entire home was a loss and we are hoping that our community will come together to ease this family’s pain during this difficult time. Any amount will help and 100% of the funds raised will go to the Harling family. 
  
  
  
 R.I.P. Sanford!

A summary of this is?
– As a raging fire burned through the three-story brick home of a family in Norristown, Pa., a 12-year-old boy watching the flames grew increasingly worried about his father, who was still recovering from hip-replacement surgery. Not realizing that his dad, Sanford Harling Jr., who was 58, had jumped out of a second-story window, Sanford Harling III, who was 12, broke free from a family friend and ran in to help him, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer. "I’m going to go back in to get my dad because he’s walking with a walker," he said. That's the last time anyone saw him alive; firefighters found the 12-year-old on the first floor, where he'd died of smoke inhalation and thermal burns in the Feb. 5, 2016 blaze. On Wednesday, Sanford was among 20 people named national heroes by the Carnegie Hero Fund, which has bestowed the honor upon nearly 10,000 people since it was established in 1904 with the mission of freeing them from "pecuniary cares resulting from their heroism," reports Patch.com. (Each recipient receives a one-time $5,000 grant.) "As we said from the beginning, he was a hero," says Fire Chief Tom O'Donnell. Harling Jr. feels the same way, calling his son "my angel." A GoFundMe page set up to help the family of "My Little Hero!" raised nearly $42,000, surpassing its $25,000 goal. Of the 20 heroes named in 2017, Sanford was among three who died performing their heroic acts. He was a seventh grader and part of the Norristown Youth Eagles Football Program.

Här är en nyhetsartikel: Julie Shaw arbetar på Real Time News Desk för Inquirer och Daily News. Under sina 10-plus år på båda tidningarna har hon bevakat domstolarna, kriminaliteten, invandringen och folkräkningshistorierna. En 12-årig Norristown pojke som dog förra året efter att ha sprungit tillbaka in i sitt hus för att försöka rädda sin far från en rasande brand är en av 20 mottagare av en nationell utmärkelse hedrande handlingar av tapperhet, Pittsburgh-baserade Carnegie Hero Fund Commission meddelade onsdag. Sanford Harling III, med smeknamnet "Man Man", dog efter att ha försökt rädda sin far, Sanford Harling Jr., från deras brinnande hem på morgonen den 5 februari 2016. Han insåg inte att hans 58-årige far, som höll på att återhämta sig från höftoperationen, kunde fly från ett fönster på andra våningen i deras tre våningar höga tegelhus. Carnegiemedaljen delas ut i hela USA och Kanada till dem som uppvisar "akter av framstående civilt hjältemod" i att riskera sina liv för att rädda andra, sade fonden i ett nyhetsmeddelande. Sanford var den yngsta mottagaren och den enda från Pennsylvania. Två andra delade ut medaljen denna månad -- en 35-årig man från Tennessee och en 56-årig Massachusetts-man -- hade också dött under sina hjältedåd. Harling Jr., nu 59, kallade sin son "min hjälte" och "min ängel" i en telefonintervju onsdag. Omkring klockan 9 den tragiska dagen märkte fadern eld och rök på första våningen i familjens hus på kvarteret Markley Street 1000. "Jag skrek att alla skulle stiga upp och gå ut ur huset", sa han. Hans fru, Dana Henderson; hans son, "Man Man"; hans 14-åriga dotter; och hans 23-åriga styvson hade kommit ut, men fadern blev instängd på andra våningen av de växande lågorna. Harling Jr. sökte efter ett fönster att hoppa från och insåg att om han dök ut ur sin sons sovrum, kunde han landa på gräs. Ungefär samtidigt fick Harling Jr. senare veta att hans son bröt sig loss från en vän till familjen som höll honom utanför huset. "Jag ska gå tillbaka in för att hämta min pappa eftersom han går med en vandrare," sade hans son till vännen. Sanford kom aldrig ut. Brandmän hittade honom senare på första våningen. Sjundeklassaren vid Lakeside School i North Wales, som ingick i fotbollsprogrammet Norristown Youth Eagles, hade dött av rökinandning och värmeskador. Hans far fick några brutna revben och frakturer i ryggen, lårbenet och samma höft som han hade opererats på. "Jag försöker fortfarande återhämta mig", sade han. Han fick använda rullstol i några månader och sitter nu på kryckor. Familjen har därefter flyttat till ett nytt hem i Norristown. Norristowns brandkår nominerade Sanford till priset. »Som vi från början sagt, var han en hjälte», sade brandchefen Tom O'Donnell. Eric Zahren, verkställande direktör för Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, en privat stiftelse, sade att varje utmärkelse kommer med en engångs första bidrag på $ 5,000. Sedan fondens instiftande 1904 av industrialist-filantropen Andrew Carnegie har 9 934 personer fått utmärkelser, utlysta kvartalsvis, och fonden har gett 38,9 miljoner dollar i engångsbidrag, stipendiehjälp, dödsförmåner och fortsatt bistånd. NORRISTOWN, PA-- Norristowns "pojkhjälte", Sanford Harling III, har erkänts av Carnegie Hero Fund Commission för sina heroiska handlingar den ödesdigra dagen i februari förra året. Harling, även känd som "Man Man", rusade tillbaka inne i sin brinnande Markley Street hem den 5 februari 2016 för att rädda sin far, Sanford Harling Jr., som krävde användning av en vandrare. Men hans far, som fann första våningens utgång blockerad av lågor, hade tagit sig till andra våningen, där han hoppade från ett fönster och landade i gräset, och fick allvarliga skador men överlevde. Man Man klarade sig dock aldrig ut. När brandmän åter kom in i hemmet, fann de att han hade dött av rökinandning och termiska brännskador. Harling hyllades som nationalhjälte i kölvattnet av händelsen, och Carnegie Hero Fund har gjort den officiell genom att utse honom till en av deras 20 hjältar för 2017 på onsdagen. Många av de andra personer som fick 2017 års pris uppmärksammades för att ha försökt rädda offer från drunkning, eld eller misshandel. Av de 20 var Harling en av endast tre som avled i sin handling av hjältemod. Harlings familj kommer också att få ett penningbidrag - vars exakta belopp inte avslöjades - som ett erkännande av hans hjältemod. I en "Tillitsgärning" utskriven 1904 lade Andrew Carnegie i stora ordalag fram behovet av erkännande av hjältar i vårt samhälle: "Gentlemen: We live in a heroic age. Det är inte sällan vi blir hänförda av hjältedåd där män eller kvinnor skadas eller mister livet när de försöker bevara eller rädda sina medmänniskor; sådana civilisationens hjältar. Barbarismens hjältar lemlästade eller dödade deras. Jag har länge känt att hjältarna och de som är beroende av dem bör befrias från ekonomiska bekymmer som följer av deras hjältemod." Totalt 9 934 heroiska individer har hedrats sedan utmärkelsen instiftades för 113 år sedan. Bild via GoFundMe ́ ́ “En hjälte är en vanlig person som står inför extraordinära omständigheter och agerar med mod, ära och självuppoffring”... Tragiskt nog, fredagen den 05 februari 2016, kortades Sanford Harling III:s liv. Sanford dog efter att ha sprungit in i deras brinnande hem i ett försök att rädda sin far. Han kom aldrig ut igen. Född den 6 juni 2003, Sanford, även känd som "Man Man", var bara 12 år gammal och medlem i vår Norristown Youth Eagles fotbollsfamilj. 2015 spelade han i laget i 6:e klass. På fotbollsplanen kunde man se Sanford hurra för sina lagkamrater och be för dem. Utanför planen var hans personlighet ljus och komisk. Han överlever av sin kärleksfulla mor, Dana, sin far Sanford, Jr., och sina 8 syskon. Vårt mål är att samla in pengar för att hjälpa familjen att återfå det de förlorade i branden och att ge Sanford den rätta begravningen som en hjälte förtjänar. Hela hemmet var en förlust, och vi hoppas att vårt samhälle skall komma samman för att lindra denna familjs smärta under denna svåra tid. Alla belopp kommer att hjälpa och 100% av de insamlade medlen kommer att gå till familjen Harling. RIP. Sanford! Hjälp till att sprida budskapet!

– När en rasande brand brann genom det tre våningar höga tegelhuset i en familj i Norristown, Pa. blev en 12-årig pojke som såg lågorna alltmer orolig för sin far, som fortfarande återhämtade sig efter höftoperationen. Utan att inse att hans pappa, Sanford Harling Jr, som var 58 år, hade hoppat ut genom ett fönster i andra våningen, sanford Harling III, som var 12 år, bröt sig loss från en vän till familjen och sprang in för att hjälpa honom, uppger Philadelphia Inquirer.
