Fire crew at the scene Picture: Bianca De Marchi Source: adelaidenow A NEIGHBOUR climbed on to the roof of his house and used a garden hose to try and extinguish a fire that destroyed an Enfield home. Three men escaped the fire which gutted their Taunton Ave rental property causing about $250,000 damage. The fire is believed to have started in the back of the house about 12.50pm. Neighbour Darryl Stevens, 36, rushed his family to safety before climbing onto the roof his home to try and put out the fire. "I ran over there to see what was going on and the house was full of smoke so I made sure everyone was out and within minutes after that the whole place was in flames," Mr Stevens said. Being right next door it was scary because there is not much space between us and them ... I actually got up on the roof with the hose and tried to wet the roof as much as I could but it got too smoky so I bailed. Resident Sayeed Hossen, 30, who rents the property with two other men, was sleeping when the fire started and he woke up to his housemates yelling, 'fire!' "By the time I opened the door I was hearing the sounds of the fire and I saw the fire from the back; I took my car key and jumped through the window," Mr Hossen said. It was very scary. MFS Commander Kevin Eckermann said the residents were "very lucky" to escape the blaze, which took 18 firefighters about minutes to extinguish. "The house is basically destroyed ... if it had been 2 or 3am in the morning we could have easily had fatalities and when we got here we would have probably only had the bottom of the house left," he said. MFS and SA Police Fire Cause Investigators are investigating the cause of the fire.
