Ralph Edward Walker, M.B.
Medal of Bravery

On November 4, 2006, Ralph Walker rescued a man from a fiery death in Ingersoll, Ontario. Mr. Walker was going to visit a friend when he noticed smoke coming from the building's basement apartment. He quickly ran to the scene, where he found the unconscious man lying on the floor, just inside his smoke-filled apartment. Mr. Walker was able to drag him out into the hallway and to the bottom of the stairwell, where he was met by another resident of the building who helped carry the victim outside to safety.
