Medal of Bravery

On July 30, 2007, Ryan Atwin, Michael Cruz, Robert Donelle, Evan Green and Nick Lannigan rescued a disabled man who was trapped in his burning apartment, in Oromocto, New Brunswick. After kicking the door open, they made their way to the badly burned victim, but were forced back by the intense heat. In spite of the imminent danger, the rescuers rushed back into the apartment, which was filled with spreading flames and dense smoke. They pulled the man out to safety, seconds before oxygen tanks inside the house exploded. Sadly, the victim died from his injuries.
