Philip Joseph Comeau, M.B.
Medal of Bravery

On May 21, 2005, Philip Comeau rescued a man from a fiery death, in Amherst, Nova Scotia. With complete disregard for his own safety, he entered a fully engulfed building, and made his way to the basement apartment. Crawling on his hands and knees, he located the physically challenged victim who had collapsed on the floor, overcome by the smoke and heat. Mr. Comeau dragged him to the door, where other people helped take the unconscious man to a safe area. Thanks to Mr. Comeau's quick response, the victim sustained only minor injuries.
