Son Stops Garage Fire With a Hose

Occurred on January 27, 2022 / Ridgecrest, California, U

Info from Licensor: My son was welding in the garage and then went into the house. I was in my travel trailer due to quarantining because I had Covid when I heard an explosion and looked out the window and saw flames and ran to the front door of my house to alert my son. He heard my screaming and came out not knowing about the fire and put it out. A neighbor had called the Fire Department who came and used infrared cameras to make sure the fire was out and it was. They did not have to dump any water. The garage door was damaged and many things in the garage were damaged but the fire did no structural damage to it or my home.
