Hood, of Acton, was working at a nearby apartment complex and heard the crash.  The two men rushed to the scene of the burning truck and worked together to remove the truck&#8217;s broken windshield.  They pulled the driver to safety shortly before the tanker exploded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a striking story of two citizens who were thrown by chance into a life-threatening situation and without hesitation knowingly put themselves at risk, and in the process saved a life,&#8221; said Daniels.  &#8220;Whatever else a hero may be, that&#8217;s it to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Governor&#8217;s Heroism Award was created by Daniels in 2007 to honor &#8220;unique and special people, who give selflessly and at genuine risk to themselves.&#8221; To date, the governor has awarded approximately 15 Heroism awards, most recently to a maintenance worker at the Branchville Correctional Facility who was injured when three offenders attempted to escape from the facility earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives from local emergency agencies who responded at the scene of the explosion also were on hand for today&#8217;s ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Audio from today&#8217;s presentation can be found here.<\/p>\n<p>Video will be available later today <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/mitchdaniels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">at this link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Photos will be available later today at this link.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/in\/red_cross_signing.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels held a ceremonial bill signing on Monday, April 12, 2010, in his office at the Indiana Statehouse.
