Lisette Moar, M.B.
Medal of Bravery
On November 20, 2004, Lisette Moar saved her daughter and her niece from a house fire, in St-Thomas de Joliette, Quebec. After safely escaping the burning house, Ms. Moar noticed that the children had not followed her outside. Without concern for her own safety, she re-entered the house and, crawling on her hands and knees, located the panicked girls halfway down the staircase. She dragged them downstairs and had almost made it outside when she collapsed. From the doorstep, her husband was able to provide assistance and complete the rescue.
