Boy Scout alerts residents of house fire

A Boy Scout is hailed as a hero after he alerted three residents inside a home that their house was on fire. The fire occurred at 7624 San Remo Place in the Lafayette Club subdivision of Orange County. Keith Rausch, 16, just happened to be passing by the house in his girlfriend's neighborhood, when he saw something terribly wrong. "I told her to stop the car." He said he saw that flames were coming from the side of the home. "They were growing 4 to 5 feet." He quickly ran to the door and told the people inside there was a fire. "They thought I was playing a joke, but got the kids out just in case and walked to the side and said, 'Oh my God the house is on fire!'"
