Constables Roger Paris, Nicholas Roy and Neal Fowler will receive the Medal of Bravery from Governor General David Johnston for their role in the rescue of a man trapped in a tractor trailer four years ago.
The flipped transport knocked down a telephone pole spilling fuel onto Loch Lomond Road and downed wires arced in a large ball of flames.
The officers climbed on to the top of the cab and kicked at the windshield ignoring the electrical shocks they were getting in the process.
Once they broke a hole in the glass, they helped the driver out and got him to safety.
The three officers will receive their award in a ceremony Rideau hall today.
