In a dramatic turn of events this morning, a garbage collector's quick thinking and heroic actions saved the lives of a man, a woman, and their pet dog as a fire engulfed a maisonette in Birmingham.
The incident unfolded around 8 am when several 999 calls reported the fire. Fire crews from Tipton, Dudley, Bilston, and Wednesbury stations raced to the scene. Upon arrival, they were relieved to find that Steve Whitehouse, a 49-year-old Refuse Operative employed by Serco, had already rescued the occupants.
