Ring camera video from the neighbor’s home captured the 10-year-old running to grab a hose and begin spraying water at a window as smoke poured out of it.
Firefighters arrived shortly after and directed Gonzalez from the building as they worked to put out the flames.
The fire was put out safely and Gonzalez was praised by local authorities.
