Ottawa – Three City of Ottawa employees from the Public Works Department who are also volunteer firefighters were honoured today at the Community and Protective Services Committee meeting for their heroic actions in locating and assisting a woman to safety as fire engulfed a historic building in Stittsville on September 9, 2013.
“Every day, City staff go above and beyond the call of duty, but this is an exemplary case of heroism and dedication by individuals who both work for the city, and who volunteer their time for the safety of their community,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “We are tremendously thankful for the actions of these brave men who risked their lives to help others.”
As thick black smoke poured from doors and windows of the 140-year-old building, volunteer firefighters
Brian Danson, Rob Hartnett, and Paul Lamothe entered the burning building to search for occupants. They located a woman who was asleep in an upper-floor unit and rushed her to safety just as Ottawa Fire Services personnel arrived on-scene and took over from the three men.
“Brian, Rob and Paul are heroes who responded quickly and professionally to an emergency situation and likely saved a woman’s life,” said Councillor Mark Taylor, Chair of the Community and Protective Services Committee. “It is my honour and pleasure to present these awards on behalf of the City, and really on behalf of our citizens who are extremely appreciative of the bravery and dedication demonstrated by these men.”
The two-alarm blaze in the centre of Stittsville caused an estimated $500,000 in damage, the loss of two apartments on the upper-floor of the building, and a considerable loss of town history.
