Richard Frauley, M.B.
Medal of Bravery

On May 30, 2008, Richard Frauley rescued two people from a burning vehicle, in Lepreau, New Brunswick. Mr. Frauley witnessed a vehicle enter the median and roll over several times. He stopped his car and ran to the vehicle, which had caught on fire. Mr. Frauley pulled frantically at the damaged front passenger door and pried it open. The flames were spreading under the vehicle and getting more intense. Mr. Frauley grabbed the passenger under her arms and dragged her a safe distance away, while the injured driver managed to pull himself out through the sunroof.
Mr. Frauley then forced open the rear passenger door, removed the baby from her car seat, and brought her to her mother. By then, the vehicle was completely engulfed in flames. Mr. Frauley provided first aid to the victims until the police arrived.
