Letter Carrier George Wood was delivering mail in Las Vegas when he spotted a parked motorcycle in flames behind a residence.
Wood alerted the homeowner, who came outside and attempted to extinguish the fire himself.
The Postal Service employee warned the man of the imminent danger of a gas tank explosion, and emergency responders were called to the scene as high winds whipped the flames.
As firefighters battled the blaze — which engulfed both the residence and a neighboring home — they discovered a disabled tenant next door who was trapped in a kitchen after he fell while trying to escape.
George was just doing his job that day, but ended up saving lives of a homeowner unaware of the danger just beyond his door.
