A woman was in tears after coming home to find five of her dogs were involved in a fire.
Josh Cropper, 29, helped to rescue the dogs from the house on Milton Street in Southport on Sunday after seeing smoke billowing into the sky. No one was inside the property at the time of the blaze, but Josh helped to free the Yorkshire terriers by kicking the front door down before fire crews arrived.
Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said three fire engines were sent to the scene at 6.03pm. On arrival, firefighters found the ground floor of the two storey house involved in the fire and heavily smoke logged.
