Muskoka’s Paramedic Chief is feeling extremely proud of two of his workers.
District official Jeff McWilliam says the bravery of Mark Verbeek and Neil Hebb is a reflection of the attitude of all Muskoka paramedics.
He says they’ve been trained to jump in and help those in need whenever they can.
Verbeek and Hebb were awarded the Ontario Government Award for Paramedic Bravery at Queen’s Park on Wednesday night.
The two were recognized for running into a burning building last November to save someone trapped inside.
