He responded to the call and immediately ran into the house and yelled for Joshua Unglesby, who is paralyzed from the waist down.
Unglesby yelled back for him and Martin ran into the smoke-filled home to save him.
Martin pulled Unglesby out of the house.
They both suffered burns but have since recovered.
