RIVER ROUGE, Mich. (WXYZ) - A newspaper delivery man may have saved four people from a house fire in River Rouge.

The man was delivering papers around 5 a.m. Thursday in the area of Coolidge Highway near West Jefferson when he saw flames coming from a home.

He banged on the door and woke up a mother and her three children.

Everyone got out safely.

Firefighters were able to arrive quickly because they were around the corner battling a separate fire when they got the call.

No word yet on how the fire started.
