Sarah Elizabeth Joy Smith, M.B.
Medal of Bravery

On March 16, 2006, Sarah Smith entered a burning house twice to rescue four children, in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Sarah and the children's mother were sitting outside when they noticed smoke coming from the oldest boy's room. Without hesitation, Sarah entered the dwelling, located three of the children and brought them outside. She then re-entered the smoke-filled house and, braving the intense heat, retrieved the fourth child and guided her to safety.
