On October 3, 2014, John Hewitt and Dale Woloshyn came to the assistance of three people involved in a car crash near Kemnay, Manitoba. Finding the first victim unconscious in his burning car, Messrs. Hewitt and Woloshyn bent the passenger-side door frame to remove the man as flames completely engulfed the vehicle. Hearing cries from the second vehicle, the two men rushed to the wreck, where they found a woman trapped with her child. Mr. Hewitt smashed the back windshield, crawled inside the car and helped both victims to safety.
