Brian Darrell McRae, M.B.
Medal of Bravery

On April 6, 2011, City of Calgary firefighter Brian McRae rescued four people from a possible drowning, in Varadero, Cuba. He swam out, grabbed the first victim and led the second exhausted man to safety. A short time later, he noticed two other men struggling in the huge waves. Once more, Mr. McRae entered the water to reach their side and brought them to shallow water, where they could walk to shore.
