Hero dogs save man from devastating early hours of morning house fire- ‘I’m still here’ | UK | News
According to the reports, one of the survivors, Stephen Clover said the couple was asleep in their home on Louth Road in North Cockerington, Lincolnshire, when the blaze started at about 02:00 GMT. He said the fire “completely gutted” his property, but Bear and Tigger’s barks meant they got out safely.
The dogs would be getting “a bigger bone tonight” as a reward, Mr Clover said.
Explaining the incident, Mr Clover said he and his partner were asleep when one of the dogs “came charging through and jumped on the bed and started barking at me”.
He said: “I thought ‘there’s somebody about’, so I just jumped out of bed and looked out the front window.”
He said “ash and sparks” were coming past the window and he “obviously realised there’s a fire”.
He said he saw the campervan was alight and dashed from the property, but the dogs were then trapped inside the house.
He said: “I went back in to get them and… suddenly the patio doors exploded, and in came the flames and smoke.
“The fumes were really toxic and I couldn’t breathe, so I had to come out.”
