Neighbor Uses Garden Hose To Hold Off FireWashington County Man Keeps Daisytown Fire From SpreadingPOSTED: 6:27 pm EDT August 15, 2009 DAISYTOWN, Pa. -- Mark Medve saw smoke and jumped into action late Friday when a neighbor's house ignited.The Washington County man who had just returned home from work came to the rescue with a garden hose in Daisytown."I noticed flames coming from the kitchen window and ran over to my house and got the gentleman's dog off the porch, and then my mom opened the back door and screamed to make sure no one was in the house," Medve said."That little gesture probably helped hold the fire into the kitchen area until we got here and probably saved the guy's house," California Fire Chief Tom Hartley said.The Red Cross told WTAE Channel 4 Action News that they have helped a family of two adults and two children with food, clothing and shelter.
