A father and son, and a few other men who volunteer as firefighters leaped into action without any protective gear and used water hoses from the home to save it.
Two garden hoses and a group of volunteers in the right place at the right time likely saved a home from burning down in Katy on Wednesday night.
"I'm Derrick. I'm Eduardo. Nice to meet you," said the two neighbors who hadn't met each other before. Hughes, his son, and a few other men who happened to live in the area knew what to do when lightning struck the house in Katy's Vantana Lakes neighborhood."This house, we couldn't do anything to help them. We knew we could try to help this exposure house. That's what we focused on. We took the water hoses and just kept spraying as much as we could for as long as we could because it was very intense heat," Hughes said.
