A 22-year-old honorary firefighter with autism was recently honored by the Hauppauge Fire Department for his quick actions in saving his family home from fire.
Daniel Diana, who is an Honorary Member of Hauppauge Fire Department Engine Company 3, loves everything about firefighting and being a part of the fire department in any capacity possible. So when a fire recently broke out at his home, he sprung into action. The fire started when Daniel's grandparents were over for a visit and his mom, Dina Diana was cooking bacon on a BBQ grille on the back porch.
The grease from the bacon caught fire and started a large fire with flames five-feet high that were impinging on a canopy over the porch.
