Medal of Bravery
On June 7, 2014, Mike Devine, Buddy Harwood and Daniel Ross rescued five people who were trapped in a burning vehicle near Whistler, British Columbia. While Mr. Ross used a fire extinguisher to smother the flames, Messrs. Devine and Harwood used a rock to break the driver's side window to pull the passengers out from the front seat. Undeterred by the blaze, the men evacuated the remaining passengers from the rear seat and, with the help of bystanders, brought them a safe distance away. Sadly, one of the victims did not survive.
