<b>Neighbor, fire extinguisher </b><b>save Seabrook home</b>

A Seabrook home was saved on July 4 after a homeowner alerted a neighbor who then responded with a fire extinguisher and quelled flames inside an oven before they could do any damage.

The Burton Fire District responded to a report of a house fire on Delany Circle in Seabrook just before 5 p.m. Firefighters arrived on the scene to find light smoke inside the residence but no flames thanks to a neighbor’s use of a fire extinguisher.&nbsp;

The fire started in the oven while the oven was self cleaning.&nbsp;

Burton firefighters utilized a thermal imaging camera to ensure that the heat from the fire did not start a fire in the walls, and also assisted the family by removing smoke from the home.&nbsp;

The family, including children, evacuated the home. The home had working smoke detectors.

Burton fire officials stress the importance of every home having a properly working fire extinguisher less than five years old that is mounted in an easily accessible place in their home – preferably by an exit. Officials caution placing fire extinguishers under kitchen sinks, often right next to the stove/oven where most home fires occur, or in closets where they are not seen and readably accessible.&nbsp;

The Burton Fire District provides free fire extinguisher training for residents and encourages training for teenagers.&nbsp;
