ORION TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WJRT) – An Oakland County Sheriff’s deputy is being recognized after he helped save two children from a burning home by getting them out through a second-story window.<\/p>\n

The fire happened just before 5 p.m. Friday on Meadowbrook Court, which is off of Waldon Road near Baldwin Road in Orion Township.<\/p>\n

A 911 caller reported that two children were trapped on the second floor of the home and were unable to escape.<\/p>\n

According to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Musse was first on scene and noticed the two boys through an upstairs window as smoke filled the home. Musse quickly positioned a trash can beneath the window to gain the additional height needed to reach the children.<\/p>\n

Firefighters also made an entry to rescue the family dog that was still trapped.<\/p>\n

The two kids, aged 10 and 12, were both taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation. They were both released from the hospital.<\/p>\n

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
