Medal of Bravery
On February 27, 2014, Kris Gunderson, Mike Heide and Justin Huska rescued two people trapped in a burning vehicle near Cache Creek, British Columbia. Alerted by a passenger waving for attention through the car's sunroof, Mr. Huska pulled the woman to safety before returning with Messrs. Gunderson and Heide for the second victim. Despite the flames and smoke coming through the broken windows, they used a pry bar to gain access to the driver and brought him a safe distance away.
