Question

【題目】 LONDON(Reuters)—British milkman Steve Leech, who saved several shops and flats by putting out a fire with 320 pints of milk, was celebrating Thursday after winning a national bravery award.

Leech, 35, named “Hero Milkman” by the National Dairymen's Association, said that he had noticed smoke coming out of a shop in Cornwall, southern England, while delivering(遞送) milk as usual a year ago.
