(KNZA)--The quick action of a neighbor and quick response of firefighters is being credited with saving a Horton business from being destroyed by fire.
The fire was reported last Thursday evening at Werner Wagon Works at 1705 Yates Avenue on the eastside of Mission Lake.
Co-Owner Connie Werner said Charlie Hutfles was driving home from his job as a teacher when he saw their shop was on fire. He drove to the Werner's to let them know and also called the fire department.
Firefighters from the Horton and Everest Fire Departments responded.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
