Jackson, MS, Letter Carrier Brad Pennington was delivering mail when he noticed smoke coming from the roof of a customer’s house. There was no response when Pennington knocked on the door, so he asked a neighbor to call 911. Firefighters arrived, found no one inside and put out the blaze. The homeowner later said Pennington’s action saved his house.
