PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — A Providence firefighter was honored Thursday night for his act of bravery at a July house fire.

During the blaze, Carmichael ascended a ladder and pulled the trapped man from the second floor and got him safely to the ground.

“Mr. Carmichael not only saved the life of the victim he pulled from the burning building, he also saved the family, friends, and community who would have suffered a great tragedy,” said Councilman Michael Correia.
