Elderly man saved from burning home thanks to actions of passer-by
An 80-year-old man has been rescued from his burning home by a passer-by.
The incident happened last night on Lenadoon Avenue in west Belfast.
A statement from the NIFRS said: "Crews from Springfield and Cadogan arrived to find a semi-detached property well alight.
"Thankfully prior to arrival a passer-by managed to rescue a man in his 80's from the property."
The NIFRS spokesman added that crews brought the blaze under control with four fire-fighting jets whilst wearing breathing apparatus.
