A neighbor rescued a sleeping family by alerting them to a fierce fire that engulfed their West Covina home early Friday.
The man was outside when he noticed the blaze at 1500 Maplegrove Street at around 12:40 a.m, the West Covina Fire Department said.
He ran over and knocked on their door, then entered the home to wake them and make sure they were able to get out safely.
It took seven units to extinguish the blaze, which also affected the hero's home. It sustained exposure damage.
No one was injured. It is still unknown what caused the fire and the monetary value of the damages.
