Medal of Bravery

On June 20, 2008, Abbotsford Police constables Jason Baskin and Mark Frendo rescued a suicidal man who had set fire to his house in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Constables Baskin and Frendo broke through the front door and made their way through the thick smoke. They found the man hiding in the bathtub. Fighting to breathe and racing against the flames, the constables grabbed the unconscious man and dragged him outside to safety.
