    On October 2, 2014, Master Corporal Tyler Jordan rescued a fellow parachutist who had become entangled in high-voltage power lines during a night jump near Smith Falls, Ontario. Despite the risk posed by the live wires, Master Corporal Jordan convinced firefighters to raise him in their crane and bucket to reach the victim's side. He then cut the victim free from the wires and pulled him into the safety of the insulated bucket.
