Howard J. J. St. Anne saved Reginald C. Newton and three others from suffocation, Hamilton, Ontario, September 27, 1980. Newton, 29, was on the third floor of a three-story brick building when fire broke out in the first- floor enclosed porch. St. Anne, 26, truckdriver, entered the smoke-filled third floor, where visibility was poor. Rousing Newton and others on that floor, St. Anne descended to the floor below, alerted others, did the same on the first floor, and then returned to the top floor, from where he removed Newton and another man via a fire escape. Entering the third floor again, St. Anne went to the second floor and located a man, who followed him downstairs. There St. Anne removed another man from his bedroom and gave him to an arriving fireman. With some difficulty, St. Anne then guided a fourth man out of the house. All recovered from effects of smoke inhalation. 57598-6557
