The Enterprise — Elizabeth Floyd Mair

Saving lives together: First Sergeant Michael Minette of the Guilderland Police holds the plaque he received, as Chief Carol Lawlor looks on. Also on the scene in the first few minutes, Minette was one of three Guilderland police officers given special recognition. He and Officer Kyle McCormack worked together with firefighters Becker and Costabile to pull the home’s residents out through a window. A third officer, Giuliana Iannuzzi, was honored as well: she secured the children and kept them calm until they could be taken to the hospital.
