Wigston neighbours save woman from fire

Available for over a year

A woman has praised a group of neighbours who ran into her mother's home to rescue her from a fire. Suzanne Wright was first alerted to the blaze by her mother's doorbell camera, which showed the neighbours trying in vain to break into the property in Wigston, Leicestershire, as they waited for the fire service to arrive. Inside, 87-year-old Phyllis Day, who has Alzheimer's, was asleep and completely unaware the fire had broken out. Wright used the doorbell camera's remote intercom function to instruct the group how to enter the house and they were able to pull her to safety. Phyllis' neighbours Pav Sarpal and Dean Archer and her daughter Suzanne Wright spoke to BBC Leicester's Ady Dayman. Image: Phyllis Day (second right) and her neighbours.
