House call

Rural Carrier Scott Holley was recently delivering mail in Live Oak, FL, when he spotted a grass fire threatening an isolated residence.

Holley immediately called 911 and rushed to the house to alert anyone who may have been inside.

Getting no answer at the front door, the Postal Service employee then located a rake and safely controlled the blaze.

Firefighters soon arrived to provide further assistance.
