Passerby Helps in Canandaigua Fire
Fire damaged the chimney of an Ontario County house Friday morning, but damage was limited thanks to the efforts of a passerby.

Deputies with the Ontario County Sheriff's Office tell YNN the man spotted smoke at a home on County Road 47 in Canandaigua at about 5 a.m. Friday. He called 911 then got everyone out of the house.

Volunteer firefighters confined the damage to the chimney.

The three people who live in the home were allowed back inside.
