Explains How He Rescued From Burning Building <\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A young man has been praised for running into a burning house to rescue a three-month-old baby. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Aamir Nawaz had been outside his house in Bradford when he heard a scream coming from one of the nearby properties.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

A fire had started in a bedroom of the terrace house, home to a family of eight, and the 22-year-old, was alerted by the mother’s screams of distress.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Describing the rescue which took place late on Thursday night, Mr Nawaz said: “A friend had just dropped me off when I heard a lady screaming.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“When I got into the house she said ‘my baby is sleeping upstairs’ so I had to go and save him.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“I carried the baby out of the room. It felt like I had a new life.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“The window was closed so there was a lot of smoke building up. I had a jumper on so I pulled it over my head to stop the smoke. I would have been overcome by the smoke if I had stayed there any longer.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“When I was outside with the baby people were telling me ‘well done’ for what I did. The father said ‘I don’t know how I’ll ever repay you’.”<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Firefighters were speaking to families in the area yesterday to ensure they have fire safety measures in place.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Aldene Woodward, watch commander at Fairweather Green, said of the severity of the blaze: “It was quite bad. The family has been displaced now.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“The cause of the fire is being investigated by the fire investigation team and the police.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“A significant amount of smoke spread around the house, it caused enough damage that the family wouldn’t have been able to stay in the house. We called a Red Cross crisis team to help with the family.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“We will be checking on all properties in that area, offering fire safety advice and making sure all homes have working smoke alarms.”<\/div>\n
