The quick actions of a neighbour helped to keep a house fire from spreading and causing more damage Tuesday morning in Abbotsford.

The fire occurred just before 11 a.m. on Hyatt Place – north of Old Yale Road in east Abbotsford.

A next-door neighbour spotted smoke coming from the side of the home. He used a fire extinguisher and then called Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service.

Crews arrived and were quickly able to fully extinguish the fire before any significant damage was caused.

No further details were available at this time.
