Coach Driver Comes to the Rescue
JANUARY 08, 2009Aparna Atluru, HappyNews StaffA coach driver played fireman in West Yorkshire, rescuing two people and their dog from their burning house.
James Hangle of Shipley was driving a bus through Church Fenton when he saw smoke. Fenton ran into the burning house and helped disabled Bob Hutchinson and his wife Isobel get out of their property unharmed. Hangle was driving from the town of York to the town of Micklefield and was simply passing through Church Fenton.
“It was one of those spur-of-the-moment things and I’m not one to go running into buildings, but my brain went into override and off I went,” said Hangle.
Upon running onto the property, Hangle saw an elderly woman who then told him that her disabled husband was inside. After running up the stairs Hangle helped the man down. Hangle says that he doesn’t consider himself a hero. Read more: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/north_yorkshire/7813229
