Irvine woman saves neighbors after returning for Diet Coke
Barbara Joseph, en route to a friend's house, returned home to fetch her Diet Coke and spotted smoke from Kathy Natalizia's home in Irvine. She alerted the fire department, helped wake the residents, and watched as the fire, fed by a shorted aquarium cord, was contained with only rafters and roof affected. The Natalizia family and pets escaped unharmed.
