Yup! As someone from a Drought prone state, OP just proved themselves a good neighbor. Smokers, ironically, are in good positions to spot stuff like this.

My mom used to sit on her back porch and smoke. One night around midnight she saw a fire, the neighbors backyard kitty corner from our backyard was in flames! She called 911 and then ran down to our yard, grabbed the hose, and started spraying down the corner where the four fences met so the whole block didn’t go up in flames. Fire dept was 5 blocks away so they showed up quick and the fire was already out - my mom had put it out with her hose! Neighbors weren’t home so without my mom it could have been bad. I forget what caused the fire but some sort of malfunction or accident. She’s a hero!
