Two bin men have been hailed as heroes after rescuing three children and a young adult from the top floor of a burning building.
Nick Gardner, a Refuse HGV Driver from Southend, and Mark Hewitt, a Refuse Loader from Dagenham, were on their daily round on July 25 when they spotted a fire in Ilford, East London.
Nick said he saw a teenage boy pop his head around the curtain of the top-floor bedroom and because he had already opened his bedroom door, meaning smoke had quickly filled his room.
