Daisy Flamand, M.B.
Medal of Bravery

On August 20, 2008, Daisy Flamand rescued three people from a burning house, in Manawan, Quebec. Hearing the smoke alarm from her basement bedroom, Ms. Flamand ran upstairs to find the kitchen in flames. She alerted her grandmother and her 10-year-old niece, who were sleeping in a bedroom on the main floor. Ms. Flamand then ran to the basement and brought her baby outside to her niece. Although the house was filling up quickly with thick, black smoke, making it difficult to breathe, Ms. Flamand re-entered the house and brought her grandmother to safety. The police prevented Ms. Flamand from entering the house again in an attempt to rescue two more family members who were trapped inside. Sadly, the two victims did not survive.
