Firefighers were called out to Perranporth on Tuesday after a flash downpour put a home at risk of flooding.
Just before 2am one appliance from Perranporth Community Fire Station used their pump to prevent the flood water, from a "recent heavy downpour", from entering a nearby property.
The water was pumped into a nearby stream by the crew.
