Noureddine Fard, M.B.
Longueuil, Quebec
On August 19, 2017, Noureddine Fard rescued a man from his burning car in Longueuil, Quebec. Mr. Fard found the unconscious victim inside the smoke-filled vehicle. He grasped him by the shoulders and attempted to pull him out, but realized the man’s feet were caught under the pedals. While a bystander held the victim’s shoulders, Mr. Fard leaned inside and freed the man’s feet. He then proceeded to pull the man to a safer location until emergency services arrived.
