It turned out that the fire was on the property of Wendy Yorke, a third-grade teacher at her school who is home on maternity-leave with her 4-month-old son.
MacIntosh knocked on the door and helped get her employee out.
The only damage to the home was on the exterior of the garage - though Yorke family members say it could have been much worse without MacIntosh.
The fire apparently started after the teacher's husband Michael Yorke dumped ashes from a wood-burning stove into the trash can.
