A plucky caravan owner has been hailed a hero after rescuing a fellow site resident from a blaze in Wales.
According to the Daily Post, Phil Roberts, who lived in a static caravan on the Bryn Gynog caravan park in Conwy, pulled an unnamed man in his 60s from the inferno in an adjacent pitch.
Mr Roberts told the newspaper that he was getting ready to go to bed when he heard the man shouting for help.
“I went outside and could see smoke coming out of the caravan,” he said. “I went in and dragged him outside and stayed with him until the ambulance and fire service came.”
The man was taken to a nearby hospital suffering from smoke inhalation. His pet dog Bugsy was also rescued by Mr Roberts, who is taking care of the animal until his neighbour is back in good health.
North Wales Fire and Rescue Service is investigating the cause of the inferno, which occurred on Monday night (December 20th).
A spokesperson urged caravanners to take extra care when using heaters and lighting candles in their motorhomes during the cold weather.
