Ash and debris are all that remain of an unattached garage on McKamey St. Alert neighbors saved the day with their quick, life saving response. All at once, Shirley said her training with the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) flooded back and she started yelling ‘Fire!’ as she ran down the block.

A garage engulfed in flames early Sunday morning prompted neighbors and firefighters to jump to action. What they did surprised even them, with one woman ripping open a locked door and a firefighter battling through a broken ankle. At about 12:20 a.m., Andi Shirley was just about to fall asleep when she heard a blood-curdling cry from her niece Suanne Clyne. Clyne, 26, was working in the kitchen when she saw a blaze outside a neighbor’s home three doors down.
