Caseem Wongus, photographed near his Philadelphia home. Moments after a medical jet plunged out of the sky and crashed near Cottman Avenue the night of Jan. 31, Wongus saw a 9-year-old boy walking through the smoke while on fire. The 25-year-old then used his black denim jean jacket to put out the flames on the boy's back and rode with him in the back of a police car to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children.
