Historical Date/s: May 15 1998 award for Feb 15, 1995 Act of Bravery Type of Event: St. Walburg
Frank George Larson, M.B., St.
Walburg, Saskatchewan
Medal of Bravery
On February 15, 1995, Frank Larson saved three people from a burning
house in St. Walburg,
Saskatchewan. When fire broke out in the nearby kitchen, Mr. Larson
shouted to alert the other
occupants and awoke his companion and her three-year-old son, urging them
to follow him. A wall
of flames blocked the main entrance so Mr. Larson ran to the front door
and, unable to open it,
smashed the window. He returned to the bedroom where his companion had
fallen back to sleep,
shook her awake, grabbed the toddler and carried him outside through the
broken window. Mr.
Larson climbed back in and, assisted by his companion, carried another
woman out. He then raced
to the neighbours' house to alert the fire department and returned to
search for his disoriented
companion who had remained behind. The intense noise of the inferno made
communication
impossible so he crawled through the thick black smoke until he found the
woman and brought her
to safety. The three other victims were evacuated by the firefighters.
