ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — St. John Ambulance has presented life-saving awards to 13 residents of Newfoundland and Labrador for their acts of bravery, ranging from rescue efforts in burning homes to applying first aid during medical emergencies.Arthur Dominix rescued all occupants of a burning home in Spaniards Bay on June 22.

In another act of heroism, Bradley Porter responded to a radio call about a man overboard while boating on July 29.

Firefighting personnel, including Fire Chief Geffrey Fowlow, Deputy Chief Lloyd Davis, Capt.
