Neighbour saves man from house blaze
A man has received treatment in hospital after a neighbour rescued from a house fire in Millisle, Co Down at the weekend.
He was pulled from the blazing house at Walker's Lane in Millisle on Saturday night by a neighbour. The victim was taken to hospital suffering from the effects of smoke inhalation.
Four fire engines from across north Down called to deal with the scene eventually brought the blaze under control although it was feared the fire might spread to the adjacent house in the terrace.
A spokesperson for the Fire Service said the neighbour had saved the man's life as a result of his actions.
