Sergeant Scott Wesley Rempel, M.B.
Medal of Bravery
On July 29, 2009, off-duty RCMP Sergeant Scott Rempel pulled a man from a burning vehicle, near Vernon, British Columbia. After witnessing a collision between a pickup and a delivery truck, Sergeant Rempel and several other men ran to help the occupants who were trapped in their damaged vehicles, which had also caught on fire. Sergeant Rempel broke the window of the delivery truck, climbed in and pulled the disoriented driver out. With the help of the others, Sergeant Rempel brought him safely away from the intensifying flames. Unfortunately, the driver of the pickup truck did not survive.
