Officials say the homeowner noticed flames outside his window and realized a camper next to the house had caught on fire.
Using a large fire extinguisher, the homeowner was able to keep the fire from climbing to the roof until the fire department arrived.
Fire Chief Seth Hansen says without the quick action from the homeowner, the fire could have been much worse. He says this is a great example of why all homeowners should have several fire extinguishers on hand.
