We shared with you earlier this week that Mack Grosvenor from the Greater Napanee Fire Department (GNFD) was awarded the Ontario Medal for Firefighter Bravery by the province.
Grosvenor shared with myFM this award means a lot to him, having grown up around the fire department and witnessing those he looked up to also receiving awards.
The young firefighters, who’s been with the GNFD for four years, is being recognized for his bravery the early morning hours of October 28, 2023.
He was off duty at the time with his girlfriend in Amherstview when just after midnight, she heard a loud bang. When they looked outside, they saw the aftermath of a car crash and that one of the vehicles was now on fire.
They then waited with the driver for emergency services to arrive.
Grosvenor is thanking the GNFD for the nomination recognizing his actions.
