A good neighbor is being credited for calling 911 to report that his next neighbor who was asleep when his smoke alarm went off inside his home in Moultrie Georgia. The Moultrie Fire Department firefighters arrived to the home where the fire started when the man and his seven month old child inside his home. The firefighters managed to break down the front door and rescue the man who woke up by the noise coming from inside his home courtesy of the smoke alarm. The firefighters managed to rescue the man and his seven month child who was also asleep in his playpen. The man was treated by officials of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) at the scene of the fire which was caused when the man failed to turn off the oven where he was cooking a meal before he went to take a nap. Both the dad and his relative are safe and sound. The best part is that the house was not damaged. It is nice to have a good neighbor to watch your back in these times.

Yes that is why we should have a good relationship with our neighbor. My mom consider them as our family too

So glad everyone was rescued, but he was so lucky the house wasn't damaged! I left my oven on for several days before I realized it.

The same thing happened when my late parents were living in Panama when the oven was on inside the home. The good thing was that when we got home from visiting relatives for about one hour, the house did not catch fire since we came at the right time from visiting my aunt and uncle.

Except for the front door, he'll need to replace. I'm glad the neighbor heard the alarm and alerted the fire department and they will both be all right.

A front door can be replaced, a person who passes away cannot be replaced.

They usually arrive quickly since a lot of firehouses are located near the houses in every neighborhood.
