Central Point, Ore. — Neighbors helped keep flames from spreading, when a home caught fire in Central Point Friday afternoon.
It started around three o’clock, at a home on Edwina avenue.
Zachary Gill says he and his brothers saw the flames on the garage, and ran outside to help.
“My younger brother grabbed the nozzle on the hose, I untangled it, and then he started spraying it,” Gill said.
Firefighters from Jackson County Fire District Three and Medford Fire-Rescue responded.
“The front of the house was heavily involved in fire,” Fire District Three Battalion Chief Aaron Backus said. “There was a report that there was still somebody inside.”
Firefighters say the man inside the home was able to get out safely.
It’s still not clear what started the fire, crews will be investigating into the evening.
