Gerald Douglas Greenfield, M.B.
Douglas James Petheram, M.B.
Medal of Bravery

On January 26, 2013, Gerald Greenfield and Douglas Petheram rescued two people from their damaged vehicle after a collision in Townsend, Ontario. Fearing that sparks from the downed power line would ignite the gas leaking from a damaged gas meter, Messrs. Greenfield and Petheram tried in vain to shut off the gas line. They then rushed to the vehicle, pulled the injured occupants out, and brought them a safe distance away.
