On February 17, 2017, 17-year-old Tristan Reddy and his younger brother, Tyler, rescued two people from a burning house in Keswick, Ontario. Racing to their neighbours’ home, the brothers quickly found the first victim and escorted her outside. They then re-entered the residence and searched on their hands and knees for a man who was stranded in the living room due to mobility issues. Unable to move the victim, Tyler ran home to retrieve a jacket while Tristan remained with the man. As the fire grew in intensity, the brothers used the jacket as a makeshift litter to drag the victim through heavy black smoke to safety.
