Two hero housemates have told how they pulled their neighbor from a smokefilled kitchen．
Rhys Lomax，29，and Chris Clark，25，of South Street，charged into the 41years old man's home after they heard his smoke alarm at around 1：55am on Sunday．
Prison officer Mr Lomax said，"I had just picked Chris up from the airport and we were arriving back at our house．Then I heard this beeping and at first I thought it was the car because we'd left the headlights on．But then I realized it was my neighbor's house and we could see smoke everywhere．We charged into the house and found him lying on the oven with black smoke coming from it．We dragged him out and put him on the main road and then called the fire department and ambulance．"
Firefighters put out the fire，which left the kitchen damaged and the oven completely destroyed．
People attempted to take the 41years old man to hospital but he refused medical attention．
Mr．Lomax added，"If it had been another couple of minutes I think he would have gone up in flames．He was a very lucky man．I was bringing Chris back from the airport because otherwise I don't think we would have heard the alarm．"
Afterwards，fire officers praised the pair，saying they had potentially saved the man's life．
But Mr．Lomax played it down and added，"I am a prison officer so I have dealt with things like that before．"
And Mr．Clark，a shop manager，said，"If there had been flames we might have thought twice but we just covered our mouths and went in．"
