On September 4, 1994, Glen Mifsud pulled three friends from a burning house trailer near Kirkfield, Ontario. Alerted to the fire, other campers kicked open the door and found Mr. Mifsud inside, unconscious and surrounded by flames. Once revived, Mr. Mifsud rushed back into the trailer, located one woman and dragged her outside where other rescuers provided assistance. Determined to rescue the other occupants, he re-entered twice despite the intense heat and smoke, and managed to bring the remaining people out shortly before the trailer was completely engulfed. Regrettably, two of the others lost their lives.
