Benryn is trapped beneath debris on the upper floor of the burning inn. Benryn and Counselor Florrick are trapped in separate rooms across the hall from each other. Breaking the door to Benryn's room causes an explosion that spreads the fire, which makes rescue more difficult. If a party member uses Speak with Dead to interact with Mirileth, she asks the party to rescue Benryn through a nearby door connected to the west building.
Saving Benryn from the burning inn is one of the ways to obtain the inspiration Rescued from the Flames (Folk Hero background). It is granted regardless of the quest active.
After a successful rescue, Benryn discovers Mirileth's corpse and mourns her death. Using Speak with Dead at this time prompts Benryn to ask her about a dowry. She reveals that the Dowry Ring is hidden in the barn behind the inn. After obtaining the ring, the party can keep it or return it to Benryn, which completes Rescue the Trapped Man. After the quest is finished, Benryn remains next to Mirileth.
↑ It is enough to come close to Benryn's room from either side and do nothing about saving him, or change location, including briefly going to the camp and back.
