When Const. Nicholas Brame ran into a Yellowknife home on New YearSA国际影视传媒檚 Eve after hearing a woman's cries for help, the last thing on his mind was that heSA国际影视传媒檇 receive any kind of recognition for his actions.

SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 just something you do,SA国际影视传媒� said the 25-year-old Yellowknife officer.

Instead, he was focused on one thing: making sure the victim, a young mother, would see her kids again.

On the night of Dec. 31, 2018, Brame rushed into the house and found the victim bleeding to death after she suffering multiple stab wounds.

SA国际影视传媒淐onst. Brame continuously spoke with her to ensure she stayed awake, minimizing the chance of her losing consciousness,SA国际影视传媒� said Brent Fowler, who presented Brame with the St. John Ambulance Silver Life-Saving Award Thursday during a ceremony at the NWT Legislative Assembly.

SA国际影视传媒淗e continued to treat the victim until emergency medical staff attended SA国际影视传媒� ensuring the safety and well-being of the victim,SA国际影视传媒� added Fowler.

Following the ceremony, Brame told Yellowknifer he SA国际影视传媒渄idnSA国际影视传媒檛 go in and assist her in order to get recognized.SA国际影视传媒�

SA国际影视传媒淏ut it feels really good to be recognized in these situations," he said. "ItSA国际影视传媒檚 nice to be rewarded for helping somebody and making sure sheSA国际影视传媒檚 going to be able to go back to her kids."

SA国际影视传媒淭he night of, I heard someone screaming for help and thatSA国际影视传媒檚 what weSA国际影视传媒檙e trained to do, to go in and help people,SA国际影视传媒� he added. SA国际影视传媒淚 think thatSA国际影视传媒檚 why we become members because we want to go out and help people, so an award at the end of the day is amazing and it feels great to get, but itSA国际影视传媒檚 not something we expect at the time.SA国际影视传媒�

In an interview with the victim just days after the incident, the woman told Yellowknifer she would have SA国际影视传媒渂led to death,SA国际影视传媒� if it had not been for the quick actions of Brame, who she said grabbed cushions and whatever else he could find to help stop the bleeding.

SA国际影视传媒淚 was freezing cold, completely dehydrated, blurry and wanting to do nothing but sleep,SA国际影视传媒� she said in the January interview.

But, she said, Brame wouldnSA国际影视传媒檛 let her.

SA国际影视传媒淗e kept telling me to tell him stories about my kids and he would not let me go to bed,SA国际影视传媒� she told Yellowknifer.

Bram, who has only been stationed in Yellowknife for a year after serving two years in Tuktoyaktuk, said itSA国际影视传媒檚 good to see the positive impacts of law enforcement being recognized.

Insp. Alex Laporte, officer in charge at the Yellowknife detachment, said ThursdaySA国际影视传媒檚 ceremony represented a memorable day for the city's police force.

SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檓 very proud, weSA国际影视传媒檙e all very proud of Const. BrameSA国际影视传媒檚 actions on that night and his efforts and his skills being applied to apply first aid and possible save a life,SA国际影视传媒� he said.
