Star of Courage

In the early hours of August 30, 2005, Corporal Tim Dunlap and Guy Raes, then constables with the RCMP, and Calgary Police Sergeant Paul Phee evacuated residents during a massive fire involving several row houses, in Airdrie, Alberta. Corporal Dunlap and Mr. Raes were dispatched to the scene, and with sirens blaring to alert the sleeping residents, they drove through flames that were arching high over the road. Along with Sergeant Phee, they searched through the fire zone, entering one of the fully engulfed houses to evacuate a young couple. With burning chunks of debris raining down on them, the officers continued their search until all residents had been evacuated.
