Students hailed as heroes after blaze rescue
Gardaí and firefighters said if it wasn’t for the bravery and quick thinking of pals Cillian Mahon, 17, and Ryane Twomey, 17, two men would almost surely have died in the blaze in a flat in Fermoy on Wednesday night.
Cillian, from Liam MacGearailt Place in Fermoy, and Ryane, from Kilworth, were out celebrating their Leaving Certificate results and were walking on Patrick Street at about 11.30pm when they spotted smoke coming from an open window of a flat above the €2 store.
