Authorities are crediting a man's quick actions with saving his neighbor's home from catching fire. The Kaukauna Fire Department responded to a report of smoke and flames coming from a garage near the 1300 block of Sullivan Avenue around 1 p.m. Thursday. The fire had been extinguished by a neighbor and only light smoke was visible when crews arrived, according the fire department. Authorities discovered that the neighbor had seen smoke coming from the garage, which was attached to a residence. The fire department said the man grabbed a fire extinguisher from his home while another neighbor called 911. The man's wife notified the homeowners and helped evacuate them and their four children. The man entered the smoke-filled garage and worked to put out the fire with his extinguisher and removed combustible liquids from the area, according to the fire department. The man then used a 5-gallon bucket of water from a 55-gallon rain barrel to finish putting out the fire.
