Medal of Bravery
On December 25, 2004, Constables Jonathan Brown and Leane McNeill saved two people from a fiery death in White Rock, British Columbia. Receiving no response to their shouts, the officers ran up an outside staircase to the second-floor apartment, forced open the door and entered the smoke-filled residence. Crawling on the floor, Cst. McNeill located the first victim in her bedroom. After waking the teenager with some difficulty, she assisted her outside to safety while Cst. Brown, feeling his way on his hands and knees, found an unconscious young male in an adjoining bedroom. The disoriented victim was helped out of the burning building by Cst. McNeill who had returned, while Cst. Brown remained inside to look for other possible victims until he was forced to exit due to the heavy smoke.
