On September 12, 2015, Special Constable Joshua Ford and Constable Blake Pyatt, of the Barrie Police Service, rescued a man who was trapped in his car following an accident in Barrie, Ontario. As the officers entered the overturned vehicle, they found fuel leaking past exposed wires and into the cabin, soaking their clothes. Racing against time, the two officers quickly cut the victim free from his seatbelt and pulled him from the wreck.
