A Bronx soldier, who died in December saving some of his neighbors during a fire in his apartment building, was laid to rest Saturday morning.

Fellow soldiers and loved ones honored Private First Class Emmanuel Mensah at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church.

Mensah ran back into his apartment building four times to rescue others from the Dec. 28 fire. He did not make it out after his final attempt. It was the deadliest fire in the city in decades, resulting in the deaths of Mensah and 12 other people.

Mensah's family accepted two military awards in his honor Friday.

His family said the New York State Medal of Valor and the Soldier's Medal, which is the United States Army's highest award for valor outside of combat, will be buried with him.
