SAN DIEGO - A 4-year-old boy riding his bike near his saw smoke coming from a house and notified a mail carrier in time to save the home from flames.
Preschooler Bailey Couturier was riding around noon Thursday when he saw smoke coming from a house.
Bailey tracked down a mail carrier, who called 911 on a cell phone.
'He told the mailman, 'I'm not kidding! I'm not kidding! I'm not kidding! There's a fire!'' said Bailey's grandmother, Paula Couturier.
Fire fighters arrived at the home and extinguished the fire, which started in a wood pile in front of the house, before it destroyed the home.
The flames discolored an exterior brick wall and cracked the driveway.
Louisa Lopez, 29, was returning to work from her home when her husband called to say the house was on fire.
When she arrived home, Bailey said, 'Excuse me, excuse me! Your house got caught on fire!'
Lopez and her husband said they will find a way to thank Bailey for saving their home. "
