Caught On Camera: Rye Girl Tries To Help Put Out House Fire With Garden Hose

RYE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) -- A young girl in Rye, New York, was caught on camera trying to help put out a fire.

Police say the girl, named Ali, ran out of her home and got a neighbor's garden hose to try to douse a fire at a multi-family home Thursday.

She did her best until Rye firefighters could get there.

Everyone living in the home was able to get out OK.

Earlier today, we were dispatched to a multiple story dwelling fire. Upon arrival, @ryefirefighters were already on scene doing what they do best. The fire was put out with the assistance of numerous surrounding agencies. All tenants were evacuated safely and no injuries are reported. We do want to recognize the bravery of a young lady by the name of Ali who instinctively ran out of her home and got her neighbor's hose in an attempt to put out the fire. We applaud you Ali, great job!
