Garda hailed a hero as elderly man rescued from house fire
Garda Roger O’Donoghue, from Newcastlewest Garda Station in Co Limerick, dragged the pensioner to safety through a window of his burning cottage on the Barna side of Newcastlewest at 5am yesterday morning.
Originally from Yorkshire in England, John Wray was living alone and was asleep in his downstairs bedroom when a fire started in the kitchen.
