ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller recently selected Philip Hall for the inaugural One Albuquerque Award for saving the life of a 2-year-old when he jumped over a fence and pulled the child from a burning tent, and suffered burns in the process.

He was treated at several out-of-town hospitals for his injuries and has returned to Albuquerque to celebrate the holidays with his family, according to a news release.

“Philip Hall embodies the spirit of One Albuquerque for the courage and bravery he exhibited when he saved the life of Kierre Caldwell,” Keller said in a statement. “The One Albuquerque Award is about recognizing members of the community who step up and take actions that make Albuquerque a safer place for our families and neighbors.”
