On January 23, 2013, Tom Blair, Bert Kent and Bob Reid rescued a woman who was in danger of drowning in the Thompson River, in Kamloops, British Columbia. The woman had fallen through the ice while trying to rescue her dog some 20 metres from the shore. Forming a human chain on the thin, fragile ice, Messrs. Blair, Kent and Reid managed to pull the victim out of the water and bring her to safety.
