14h agoPolice officers in Howell used fire extinguishers from their vehicles, garden
hoses from other homes, and booster lines from additional arriving firetrucks
to keep a house fire from spreading.
The neighbor across the street realized the house was on fire and ran
over, alerting residents who were not aware the entire exterior front of their
house was ablaze.
The fire became so
intense that the woods caught on fire. A shed and fence two houses down also began
to burn.
Officials say the
officers, the neighbors and the fire department are being credited
with making sure the fire didn't spread any further.

house was a complete loss, other houses were saved. The police chief says it showed
everyone working together to help each other and how committed they are to the
community.
Police say everyone was able to escape.
