An Elkhart man is being credited for saving the life of his neighbor after her house caught fire Wednesday night.

The Osolo Township Fire Department says it was just after 9 p.m. when they were called to a home in the 25000 block of North Park Avenue for the fire.

WNDU reports that a neighbor saw the fire on his garage door security camera, ran to the house, found a woman laying on the floor and pulled her out of the home just in time.

Assistant Chief Mike Graham says he believes the fire was accidental and that oxygen tanks were stored in the area of the fire which contributed to the spread of it.

The woman was treated at the hospital and is now being assisted by the Red Cross with housing.
