Frank William Taylor, M.B.
Medal of Bravery

On July 22, 2008, Frank Taylor rescued his neighbour who was trapped inside his house engulfed in flames, in Chemainus, British Columbia. After hearing an explosion, Mr. Taylor ran onto the porch and saw the badly burnt victim trying to pull himself out through a window. Mr. Taylor grabbed the man under the armpits and pulled him backwards, out onto the porch. With the help of his father-in-law, Mr. Taylor then kicked down the railings of the deck and brought the victim into the yard. With damaged, live power lines dangling above them, Mr. Taylor was able to bring the man a safe distance away.
