Neighbour saves dog from fire

11:43am Wednesday 24th June 2009 in Drighlington

A neighbour came to the rescue of a dog when a fire broke out in a house in Drighlington, Bradford, at around 5am today.

The man, returning home from work at the end of a night shift, heard his neighbour’s smoke detector sounding and went to investigate.

He alerted another resident to call the fire service because of fears someone was trapped inside the semi-detached house in Walton Drive.

When firefighters arrived, the man had retrieved a dog from the house. They put out a small fire involving an electric heater in the conservatory and found that no one was home.

A spokesman for Morley fire station said he suspected an electrical fault was to blame for the fire.
