　　One evening last fall, while Marcos Ugarte did his homework and his father, Eduardo, a teacher, prepared lesson plans, they heard yelling outside. Eduardo, 47, and Marcos, 15, stepped onto the balcony of their two-story contemporary home and saw a commotion (喧闹) four doors down, outside the home of one of their neighbors, the Ma family. “ I didn’t think anything was wrong,” Eduardo recalls. “I told Marcos we should give them some privacy.” But Marcos’s eye was caught by a flame from the Mas’ house.
　　“Dad, the house is on fire!” Marcos cried. Dressed only in shorts, the barefoot teen rushed towards the Mas’ home with his dad. On the front lawn stood the Mas’s families, yelling for help. When they got there, they saw father Alex Ma was walking slowly down the stairs, coughing , his face black with smoke.
　　“Is anyone else in the house?” Eduardo asked.
　　“My son !”Alex managed to say, pointing to the second floor.
　　Eduardo started up the stairs, but thick, black smoke and extreme heat forced him to his knees. So he crawled upstairs and down the hall where Alex said he could find Cody, eight , who had locked himself in a bedroom. “I’d never seen smoke like that,” says Eduardo. “My glasses immediately turned black from the ash.”
　　As the fire was violent across the hall, Eduardo banged on the bedroom door and tried to turn the doorknob (门把手), But Cody didn’t response, and Eduardo made his way back downstairs. At the same time, Marcos saw Yim and Suzanne pulling a ladder out of the garage. “Cody was standing at the window, screaming for help,” says Marcos.
　　“ I knew I had to do something.” Immediately he grasped the ladder, positioned it near the window, and climbed toward the boy. When Marcos reached the window, he pushed the screen into the room and succeeded in persuading Cody to come out with him. Holding Cody with one arm , Marcos got down the ladder. Halfway, he handed the boy to a neighbor.
　　When firefighters arrived a few minutes later, plumes of smoke were rising from the back of the house as flames swallowed the second floor. Emergency personnel took Cody to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for smoke inhalation (吸入) and released. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
　　“You just don’t see a teenager have that kind of courage,” says Marnder, Gresham Fire Department battalion chief. The day after the fire, Alex visited Marcos, “Than for saving my son,” Alex said . “You are our hero forever.”
