RCMP Corporal James Allan Munro, M.B.
Medal of Bravery
On June 4, 2005, Corporal James Munro, then constable, rescued a man from a burning apartment building, in Flin Flon, Manitoba. While on patrol in the area, Corporal Munro noticed the fire, called the fire department and proceeded to alert the residents. Not getting a response to his calls, he kicked in the door of one of the apartments, entered, and was soon overcome by the thick, black smoke and intense heat. He crawled inside to locate the semi-conscious occupant and dragged him to safety. Corporal Munro continued to alert other residents and assist in extinguishing the fire until all the residents had been safely evacuated.
