A local man, only identified as Michael, received a Citizen’s Award by the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office for his actions during a January vehicle fire. Michael was driving on Lakeshore Road and noticed a car on fire near Wilkes Drive. With someone still inside, he quickly pulled over. Thanks to a fire extinguisher he had just placed in his car, Michael was able to control the flames long enough for help to arrive. His quick thinking likely saved the driver’s life.
