Residents have described the desperate attempts to save 'the best neighbour ever' from a devastating 4am house fire.
Andy Pickwell, a care worker in his 50s, died in the fire at his home in Wigan during the early hours of Saturday. Neighbours have told how they tried to enter his home but were forced back by plumes of thick black smoke.
As an investigation into the cause of the fire continued, today (Sunday), residents paid moving tributes to Mr Pickwell, who was a respected care worker who looked after adults with learning disabilities and who loved to build and maintain bicycles.
