KM's Falls
Gets $2,500
Hero Award
Kenny Falls bought a new
Blazer Monday morning before he
went to the mailbox where a check
for $2500 was waiting from the
Carnegie Hero Fund Commission.
"] probably will use some of that
unexpected pre-Christmas present
for the new truck and the rest for
Christmas presents for our three
children," said Falls, 32, Kings
Mountain native and lineman for
Duke Power Company.
Falls, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otis
Falls Jr. of Kings Mountain, pulled
James D. Maney, 35, of Bessemer
City, from a burning house at 3
a.m. on Labor Day 1988. He was
among three North Carolina men
and 18 people in North America
honored Thursday for heroism by
the Carnegie Hero Fund
Commission.
Falls was returning to Duke
Power's Gastonia office on Sept. 5,
1988 when he saw flames shooting
into the air from a one-story house
on Creme Haven Road in
Bessemer City.
"When I pulled up there was a
lady hollering that her husband was
inside," said Falls.
Falls took a few steps inside the
house and the smoke was so thick
and hot that he stepped out. Then,
he turned around and closed his
eyes against and smoke and
grabbed Maney, lying semi-con-
scious on the floor. By the time the
two got outside, the room was in
flames.
"I figured if I or any of my fami-
ly were in that situation I would
want someone to do the same thing
for me," said Falls, who only
thought of the danger when he
went out to pull the electrical meter
and saw the gas meter on the
house. Since it was gas, the whole
house could have exploded. Last
year, Duke Power presented him
with the Robinson award and his
act of heroism was featured in a
company magazine.
The Carnegie award includes a
bronze medal and certificate. Since
its creation by industrialist Andrew
Carnegie in 1904, the hero com-
mission has awarded 7,385 heroes
and their survivors more than $18
million. Also honored were N. C.
heroes Gary Wheeler, 61, of New
Bern, and Gregory Dean Morrow,
39, of East Flat Rock.
Falls, who has worked for Duke
Power for six years and who has
received much publicity since the
announcement of his award, said
the letters from his son's first grade
classmates touched him the most.
"The children thanked me for sav-
ing a life and for being a special fa-
ther," he said.
