Response officers enter burning flat and save bedbound man
Response officers forced their way into a burning flat and saved a severely bed-bound resident.
PC Jak Walker and PC Aaron Mulcahy heard a man shouting from an upstairs flat near Radford Road on Thursday 7 November, just after 6.30pm.
When they started to smell smoke, they forced entry into the address, and climbed upstairs to be met by flames.
A bedroom table was on fire next to where a man, in his 60s, was resting.
They used buckets of water to put out the flames and then ventilated the property as the man could not be moved due to his disability.
The fire service then arrived and ensured the property was safe.
The cause of the fire was a cigarette.
