Officer Matt McCaslin of the Powell, Wyoming, Police Department responded to a fire at a local motel. Assisted by the motel’s night clerk, he took prompt and alert action in evacuating guests, helping one guest down from a second-story window and pounding on ground-floor windows to alert guests to evacuate. He entered the motel after hearing voices from inside, calling out to them but receiving no response. Crawling through thick smoke with only two to three feet of visibility, he found an unconscious man in the hallway and attempted to help him to safety. Unable to move the man on his own, Officer McCaslin left the building and summoned Sergeant Mike Chretien, who helped recover the victim. After searching for victims in the motel one last time, Officer McCaslin took command of the scene, organizing response efforts by initiating call out of extra personnel, directing people to move vehicles away from the burning building, and advising evacuated guests to remain until accounted for.
