James David Allan Badgley, M.B.
Picton, Ontario

On October 2, 2015, James Badgley rescued a man from his burning house in Belleville, Ontario. A damaged gas line had exploded and set fire to the house. Mr. Badgley quickly ran inside, found the victim and helped him to safety. Despite the flames and heavy smoke, Mr. Badgley re-entered the house a second time to ensure it was empty before finally retreating from the blaze.
