Medal of Bravery

On April 28, 2007, Darren Bieber and Mark Janke rescued one person from a submerged vehicle, near Stoughton, Saskatchewan. A car with five people on board had lost control, left the roadway and flipped into a water-filled ditch. One of the occupants got out and ran to the road to alert passersby. Mr. Janke stopped his vehicle and got out to help. He was able to pull two people out of the wreckage. At that point, Mr. Bieber arrived and helped Mr. Janke pull out the last two victims. Messrs. Bieber and Janke took care of the two survivors until the ambulance arrived. Sadly, three of the occupants did not survive.
