A woman from Rainy River is among three recent Confederation College graduates recognized for heroism.
Taya Stamler along with Riley Tucker and Devon Wanakamik were recognized by the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshall and Emergency Management.
While students of the College’s Pre-Service Firefighter Education and Training program in Thunder Bay, the trio came across a fire last February in an attached garage.
Pounding on the door of the home, they were able to alert three people inside who were not aware of the fire and escort them to safety.
Guy DeGagne of the Ontario Fire Marshall’s Office says the event “demonstrated the importance of training and demonstrated each student’s professionalism, dedication and passion for the firefighting profession.”
