On August 9, 2012, François Tremblay rescued an injured woman from a burning vehicle in Gaspé, Quebec. The victim's vehicle had gone down a steep ditch and hit a tree. Mr. Tremblay helped the woman get out, but she lost consciousness due to her injuries. A fire suddenly flared up and grew in intensity, trapping them both between the steep incline and the surrounding trees. Bystanders came to help Mr. Tremblay bring the victim to safety.
