Heroic fireman saves dog

MICHAEL COONS/The Acorn GOOD JOB-Los Angeles County firefighter Tim Bernstein, center, receives well-earned recognition. He rescued Lucy, an 11-year-old golden retriever, from a burning vehicle in which the dog and Kelly, left, and Kim, right, were traveling in (last December). For his heroics, New Leash on Life, a nonprofit organization, recognized Bernstein and the rest of Fire Station 65 in a ceremony last week. Bernstein suffered severe facial lacerations because Lucy, in a panic, bit him while he tried to pull her away from the deadly flames that burned in the vehicle.
