A house fire Monday in Lake Forest, California is tamed by a garden hose and an extinguisher. The description with the video by Kyle Mooney credits Orange County Fire Authority Fire Explorer Jake Kalin with saving the day.
The YouTube version of the video was killed. But LakeForestPatch has the videos below and a more complete story by Spencer Kornhaber.

VIDEO REMOVED BY USER,,,,, Hmmmmm,,,,,something smells fishy here.
Dave, the video's been taken down by the user.
Read the backstory of what happened on <a href="http://lakeforest-ca.patch.com/articles/video-passersby-fight-residential-fire-on-larkwood-lane-warning-vulgar-language">Lake Forest Patch</a>.
The fire was not "tamed" by the kids…but by the two adults with the garden hoses. When the first unit arrived, they reported heavy fire from both homes in the attic. The video does not show that part.
For clarification, the explorers are NOT firefighters. They are kids under 18 being trained to future firefighters.

GOOD JOB! … saved a lot of damage to two houses just by knocking / cooling them down from a safe distance, from what the short video shows. K
These kids\adults could show Columbus, GA fire dept a couple things.
Here we have basically citizens extinguishing more fire in less time without gear and a million dollars worth of apparatus than a fully equipped ISO2 dept .
