Award For Officer Who Helped Save Driver From Burning Transport Truck

Police officers truly are everyday heroes: cConstable Stacy Humphrey getting a certificate of recognition for her part in a heroic accident several years ago on the Loch Lomond Road in which a tractor trailer hit a power pole and caught fire, trapping the driver inside.

Humphrey tells CHSJ News it was just a normal day until they got the call, during which the tractor trailer was surrounded by arcing wires as it burst into flame.

Humphrey suffered smoke inhalation and her colleagues Constables Roger Paris, Nicholas Roy and Neal Fowler were injured as they rescued the driver. They received the Medal of Bravery from Governor General David Johnston.
