Neighbour woken by fire screams | |
(about 5 hours later) | |
A neighbour has described how he was woken by the screams of a woman trapped in a burning house with five children. | |
Ann Roberts' cries for help were heard by neighbour Simon Keith when the fire, believed to be arson, engulfed her house on St Hilda's Crescent in Leeds. | |
Mr Keith said: "I looked out and saw Ann screaming in her bedroom. I ran outside and just battered the door in." | |
He and Ms Roberts' son Nathan helped lead the woman and children to safety early on Wednesday. | |
They were taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation. | |
Police said the fire was being treated as suspected arson and that an investigation was under way. |
