Written by City News Service - Three sheriff's deputies are being credited with saving
 the life of a woman trapped inside a burning Compton garage, a lieutenant said
 today.
    The fire was reported just before 1:40 a.m. Saturday in a garage
 converted into living quarters in the 600 block of South Bullis Road, said Lt.
 Michael Hannemann of the Los Angeles County sheriff's Compton Station.
    It may have started in a carport behind the garage, the battalion chief
 said.
    When deputies Jesus Fernandez, Javier Flores and Jaime Juarez arrived at
 the scene, they saw a man trying to use a shovel to break through an exterior
 wooden slat wall engulfed in flames to save a woman trapped inside the burning
 garage, Hannemann said.
    ``Deputy Fernandez took the shovel from the male Hispanic and pried
 loose some of the garage's exterior horizontal wooden slat sidings, as Deputy
 Flores used his hands to remove the now loosened wooden slat sidings to create
 a hole large enough for the female victim to escape or be rescued through,''
 the lieutenant said.
    ``Once the hole was large enough, Deputy Juarez reached in through the
 hole and pulled the incapacitated and badly burnt female to safety,'' Hannemann
 said. ``The female suffered burns over the majority of her body.''
    Two men who were inside the garage but escaped also suffered burns and
 Deputy Flores suffered minor burns to his right hand, the lieutenant said. All
 four of the injured were taken to a hospital, a Compton Fire Department
 battalion chief told a news photographer at the scene.
    The three victims inside the garage suffered second-degree burns,
 authorities said. LOUDLABS NEWS
