Fire officials confirm it was neighbors who helped four people out of the building before fire units could get there, but two children and one man were still inside."There's adults yelling, 'There's another child in the building' and eventually one of the men broke the window to get onto this roof," Londos said.
Officials say the post office is temporarily closed, workers were tasked Friday with relocating mail to the Boulder Creek Post Office for residents to pick up.
