An army sergeant has been hailed a "saviour" after rescuing nine people, including a woman in her 90s, from a row of burning cottages in Oxfordshire.
Makes you wonder doesn't it? And the guy is humble to boot
.Mr Young was driving with his girlfriend when he saw the flames.
"If we were five minutes too early we might not have seen the fire and if I didn't see it these people might have all been dead," he told the BBC.
"I kind of went into a bit of shock about what could have happened if I didn't do what I did."
Think about that-- his primary concern was not what would happen to him, but what would happen to others if he
did not act. That is truly the stuff heroes are made of.
