This article is a direct street report from our correspondent and has not been edited by the 1st Responder newsroom.

The Hasbrouck Heights Fire Department honored local resident Michael Cutruzzula with a distinguished service award for his actions at a 2nd alarm fire. On April 5th while playing video games in his room Michael smelled smoke. When he looked out his window he saw his neighbors rear yard and deck on fire. He quickly told his father about the fire and called 911. Michael's quick action led to the proper response by the Hasbrouck Heights Fire Department. Due to his quick thinking and action the fire was extinguished and contained to the rear of house. Michael was also given a commendation from the mayor and council. Micheal's parents and sister were present for the presentation.
