A Calgary firefighter was awarded the Medal of Bravery by the Governor General at a ceremony in Ottawa on Thursday for saving four people from drowning in the ocean.

Brian McRae was in Veradero, Cuba, for a friend’s wedding three years ago when — twice in one day — he had to spring into action to save two separate pairs of swimmers after they got caught in dangerous rip tides.
