Man's rescue from burning flat caught on camera

Footage of the moment a disabled man was saved from a fire has been released by police.

Officers forced their way into the flat in Radford Road, Nottingham, where they found a "severely bedbound" man in his 60s resting next to a bedroom table that was on fire, police said.

PC Jak Walker and PC Aaron Mulcahy used buckets of water to put out the flames and then ventilated the property.

The man was taken to the Queen’s Medical Centre but was not seriously injured in the 7 November fire, which police said was caused by a cigarette.

Sgt Dean Reynolds, based at Radford Road Police Station, said: “If it wasn’t for the quick-thinking actions of these two police officers there is no doubt that the man would have died."
