Neighbor wakes family in burning house in northwest Houston
HOUSTON (FOX 26) - A family was able to get out of their house safely after their neighbor knocked on their door to alert them that their house was on fire.
Firefighters responded to the home on Noras Lane near the North Freeway around 3 a.m. Monday.
A neighbor was checking on his barking dog when he noticed the fire.
He knocked on their door to get them out before calling 9-1-1.

Officials believe a brisket that the family was smoking on the back patio deck somehow caused the fire.
