(KNSI) – A police officer is being credited with saving an Avon man and his property from a grass fire.

Nellis is also a volunteer firefighter and decided to investigate the source.
The sheriff’s office says black smoke typically means something is burning that probably shouldn’t be.
Nellis went to 17010 Norman Road in Avon Township and found a fire in a wooded area.
