On October 22, 2011, constables James Elvish, Ryan Krupa, Andrea MacInnis and Kristofer Poling rescued several people from a burning hotel in Thunder Bay, Ontario. After helping to evacuate occupants from another part of the building, these officers made their way to a three-storey tower attached to the hotel.

They checked every room and assisted the remaining occupants outside to safety.
