PITTSBURGH -- Three Idaho residents have been given Carnegie medals for heroism for rescuing a woman from a burning pickup truck last year.

Twenty-nine-year-old Matthew Logan of Moscow, 44-year-old Kevin Barbee of Lewiston and 44-year-old Donald Galloway of Genesee saved 51-year-old Kerry Wagner from the pickup after an accident in Moscow on June 27, 2010.

The Pittsburgh-based Carnegie Hero Fund Commission announced the honors Tuesday for people who risked their lives while saving or attempting to save the lives of others.

Carnegie medalists, or their heirs, receive financial grants. More than $33.7 million has been awarded to 9,477 honorees since the fund's inception in 1904. New recipients are announced four times a year.
