Terry James Palaschak, M.B.
Medal of Bravery
On July 4, 2012, Terry Palaschak rescued an injured man from a burning vehicle near Val Marie, Saskatchewan. A single vehicle rollover resulted in the driver being trapped inside the car, which had caught fire. Mr. Palaschak struggled in the clouds of toxic smoke and tried in vain to put out the flames. He then broke the rear window and helped the victim crawl out. Sadly, the victim later succumbed to his injuries.
