The city of Enterprise has honored a retired military man credited with saving two women from a burning home.
Retired Army Command Sgt. Maj. Marvin Pinckney was recognized for his lifesaving actions on Sept. 4 by Enterprise Mayor William Cooper and Enterprise Fire Chief Christopher Davis at the Enterprise City Council meeting Sept. 20.
Davis agreed. “He is a person who cares about the people around him and he took what action was needed,” he said. “That is a sign of a good man.” Pinckney was in his garage when he saw smoke and flames coming from Griffin’s garage. He ran to the home and discovered that Griffin and her helper were inside. “They didn’t know there was a fire at that point,” Pinckney said, adding that his first effort was to get Griffin from her stationary chair to her wheelchair and her portable oxygen supply.
“I knew that she was immobile, and I knew if I didn’t help intervene it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did,” Pinckney said.
