Keith Jacob Hoffman, M.B.
Medal of Bravery
On November 10, 2013, Keith Hoffman rescued a fellow passenger from a burning plane that had crashed in a wooded area near the airport in Red Lake, Ontario. Upon impact, the aircraft burst into flames, setting the surrounding bush on fire. Mr. Hoffman was making his way out when he found the woman covered in metal debris. He freed her and brought her a safe distance away as the wreck became fully engulfed in flames. Sadly, none of the other passengers survived.
