Officers said the family had 'zero idea' they were in a burning building when they were rescued
By Ady Dayman & Jennifer HarbyA police officer has recalled how he saved a mother and two young children from a fire in a 10-storey building.
He said he and his colleague had arrived at the scene before the fire service and had initially focused on clearing the area around the building.The officers had then decided to enter the high-rise flats to check nobody was inside. "I had to check. Having lived in a multi-storey building, fire alarms do go off regularly and you do become a little blasé but it just takes that one time.
The father-of-one said he had felt "a bit of panic" at floor six, because he had been aware the fire had been developing on the floor below.When the officers found the family, they helped the mother carry her children down the stairs.
