On September 27, 2009, Warrant Officer Filiatrault assisted a young man involved in a car accident in Simcoe County, Ontario. As Warrant Officer Filiatrault rounded a bend in the road, he discovered the vehicle, which had crashed in a deep ditch and wedged itself between trees. He scrambled down the steep embankment and, as flames spread out from under the hood, he pulled the semi-conscious driver to safety. He then rendered first aid to the victim until paramedics arrived.
