EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP - Two men who rescued a woman from a burning building in Pleasantville received Valor Awards recently from the Atlantic County Firefighters Association. What makes the honor unusual is that the men are not firefighters, police officers or emergency medical technicians, but two ordinary guys who happened to be nearby when the fire broke out. George E. Hurden III, of Absecon, and Allen G. Holman, of Egg Harbor City, both employees of Atlantic County Concrete, said they were surprised to be honored for their action.

One man suffered minor injuries in a Friday-morning fire that hit the bedroom of a Harbor Beach Boulevard townhouse, a fire official said.

The fire was reported at 9 a.m. and firefighters had it out nine minutes later, Lt. Steve Frei said. But the townhouse tenant - who had just moved into the home Thursday - burned his hands when he tried to put the blaze out himself with a fire extinguisher, according to Frei.

The unidentified tenant didn't immediately call 911 after he discovered the fire, which allowed it to grow initially, but Frei says the man did the right thing by then closing the door of the burning bedroom. That move kept it from spreading further and allowed the Fire Department to make "a quick knockdown" once they were called, the firefighter added.

The home, in the 4600 block of Harbor Beach Boulevard, has about $75,000 worth of damage, mostly from smoke, Friel estimated. Investigators were trying later Friday to determine what caused the blaze
