RCMP are commending a couple of Cherryville men for their courage. Daniel Balcaen and Kevin Meda helped rescue a female driver just before her car burst into flames on Highway 6 last Friday night. Lumby Cpl. Henry Proce says the men put themselves at risk by bending back the door  frame and extracting the senior woman. "They undoubtedly saved the driver's life by removing her from the vehicle in the nick of time," says Proce. She was taken to Vernon hospital with a cut and breathing difficulties, but no burns.
