Homeowner battles fire with garden hose

 A homeowner battled a bathroom blaze with a garden hose Friday night.
The resident, John Smear, told News Center 7 he was watering outside when he noticed smoke coming from the second floor of his Sunray Road home just before 7 p.m. Smear went inside, and saw that his bathroom was on fire, so he stretched the garden hose upstairs to douse the flames.
Heavy smoke was pouring from the second floor at the home in the 4300 block of Sunray Road when firefighters arrived, according to reports.
There were no injuries, and there is no word yet on what caused the fire.
