WE live in the country when our neighbors barns burnt my son ans I called 911, got their animals, out there was no one home, I took her cloths off the line and called her mom then recently my DSIL's garage burnt I went and helped by telling the firemen what I new was in there such as gas, propane and gathered her up. (she was at work) Being there for support. I don't go chasing but try to help out if it is a neighbor. We have also put out a grass fire at an elderly ladies house, Had it out before the fire department got there.
