The Fire and Rescue Service said the actions of the woman – who not only dialled 999 but stayed on the scene to direct firefighters to the property – were ‘instrumental’ in saving the man’s life.

In a statement, the service added: ‘As there was no working smoke alarm, if the passing lady hadn’t seen the smoke this incident could have ended completely differently.’
