A neighbour has been called a hero for saving a mum and two kids from a massive blaze at their home by putting down a mattress so they could jump onto it from a window.
Clidford Saint Jean’s quick-thinking was praised by the Boston Fire Department, in the United States, as he dragged an old mattress to provide a soft landing for the family who lived next door to him in a duplex.
First a five-year-old girl was dropped by her mother and caught by Mr Saint Jean before a teenager and the mum jumped down to safety, last Saturday, in the Roslindale area of Boston.
