LAKE FOREST, CA – Some Lake Forest residents are being credited for looking out for their neighbors this week after they spared occupants of a house injury when the residence caught fire. The Orange County Fire Authority reported on Wednesday that a two-story home on Tizmin caught fire, starting in the garage. With the garage fully engulfed, neighbors called 911 and pounded on the door of the home to alert residents of the fire. Neighbors called 9-1-1 & pounded on the door of a house with its garage completely on fire on Tizmin in @LakeForestCA at approx 11:15 a.m. today.

No one was hurt in the fire, the fire district said, and the cause of the fire was determined to be an unspecified electrical issue. Officials did not report how much damage the fire caused to the house.
