Jacob Poroo (original) (raw)
Jacob Poroo (December 1, 1938 - June 18, 1968) was a medic for the United States Coast Guard who died of burns suffered when fire struck the remote Alaskan base he was assigned to. On 2 June 1968, the recreation hall of the at Adak, Alaska, started to burn. After Poroo and other men escaped from the burning building, he re-entered it when he thought he heard cries for help. After he had been terribly burned, a head count determined that no one was missing. A Coast Guard account of the event records that, even though he was horribly burned himself, Poroo guided uninjured men in how to properly care for those who had been burned.
