Gustine Soldier Drove Burning Truck to Safety and Extinguished Fire
Pfc Kennith R. Lancaster 18 of Gustine and the 14th Aviation Company acted quickly after a civilian truck rear ended their Army fuel vehicle carrying 12 000 gallons of high octane aviation gasoline. He drove the burning truck away from civilians and used his bare hands to help douse the flames. The collision damaged the filtration valve and the driver then raced the truck to safety near the edge of the village as officers arrived.
