In 1978 at a folk music festival in West Virginia a Navy buddy and I pulled 3 people out of a burning tent (they had a charcoal fire in their tent) We saw the tent smoldering and checked to see if anyone was around, I reached in the tent and felt several feet in a sleeping bag. The tent was full of smoke and it was a pitch dark night. We pulled all 3 people out and there were no signs of life on any of them. We started CPR and yelling for help. People started to show up and finally a W.V. State Trooper was there with a radio and a EMS squad arrived. I personally got 2 of the 3 people breathing and the Trooper got the third one. I remember their first breathe and the people vomiting and spitting up for a long time as people holding flashlights and cheering as each one took a breath. A couple of nurses showed up and were clearing their airways as the people were loaded in a ambulance. The next morning we went to see if anybody had any news, Not a word only camping equipment and a burnt pup tent. I have always wondered.
