Student has saved an 84-year-old man from a fire on Monday after seeing flames in the ground floor of his Chatham Road flat.
20-year-old Edward Herbert saw the flames at around 21:15 from the flat in Winchester on Monday when he took a ladder to get to the man who was in his bedroom at the time.
The student managed to get the man to the window so he could breathe but due to the smoke the man fainted twice.
A member from the ambulance crew then gave the man oxygen and assisted him down from the flat. The man is now in hospital after suffering from smoke inhalation but is not seriously harmed.
Edward said, "I just wanted to get him out" and added, "He fainted twice and I thought the worst".
When the fire service arrived it took one jet, two hose reels and four sets of breathing apparatus to end the fire and positive pressure ventilation fans were used in the property.
Edward also said, "I will definitely go to see him in hospital".
