When a lightning strike hit a house in Katy last night, the flames spread rapidly.
Luckily, for Eduardo Costa , a neighbor whom he had never met, came to the rescue.
ABC13 Houston reported that off-duty firefighter Derrick Hughes, his son, and a few other neighbors who all happen to be volunteer firefighters went into action.
Without any protective gear, the firefighters used water hoses from the home to save it.
"We took the water hoses and just kept spraying as much as we could for as long as we could because it was very intense heat," Hughes told ABC13.
Looking at what could've happened, Costa said he was grateful for the neighbors he didn't know he had.
"Thank you so much for helping. It was awesome. Thank you for everything you did for us Wednesday," Costa said. To which Hughes responded, "That's just normal for firefighters."
