Hawaii man quells house fire with pot of miso soup

Hawaii island resident Joy Gardner credits her son with saving her house by stopping a fast-moving fire with a pot of miso soup. Gardner, 70, of Papaaloa, said crackling sounds woke up her son Reuben Prensky, 41, on Saturday morning. He investigated and found a plastic sink in the laundry area on fire with flames lapping at the roof. "It was very intense," she said by phone from Hawaii island. Prensky went to the kitchen for some water and grabbed the first thing he could find -- a large pot of miso vegetable soup left out overnight on the stovetop.
