"] 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.
