During the early hours of Sunday, September 5th, the residents of Rainbow Park Condominium in Sylvan Lake woke up to the sounds of sirens and a large structure fire. 

Thankfully, there were no reports of injuries thanks to 16-year-old Liam Everest who was woken by the fire and quickly raised the alarm. 

During the September 13th Sylvan Lake Town Council Meeting, Liam was recognized for his efforts by interim mayor Teresa Riling. 

“There is damage that was done, but not to life and we just want to thank Liam for his heroic act,” said Riling.
