Hero in 'fireman mode' rushed into burning building after hearing screams

A "hero" has been praised for rushing in to help following reports of a burning building.

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service rushed to King Street in Wallasey at around 3.30pm on March 17 following reports of a blaze at a home. Six fire engines arrived at the scene a short time later and found a three storey mid terraced building alight.

Staff at the Gerrard Interiors offices opposite say they heard someone screaming for help and trying to kick the door down. Amber Eastwood said she and her colleague Gordon Smith, an ex-firefighter, "impulsively ran out to help".
