Long Beach Fire Department (LBFD) officials Thursday hailed quick-thinking neighbors as heroes after they broke a window and used a garden hose to douse a fire ripping its way through a woman\u2019s apartment.<\/p>\n
The fire was sparked at a small, four-unit apartment building on Euclid Avenue near East Fountain Street at around 3:30 a.m. Thursday. When firefighters arrived, smoke and flames were engulfing one of the units.<\/p>\n
\u201cHeroic neighbors acted swiftly, breaking a window and using a garden hose to help extinguish the fire,\u201d the Long Beach Fire Department said in a Facebook post Thursday. \u201cTheir quick actions helped prevent the fire from spreading.\u201d<\/p>\n
