New photos show aftermath of Sheffield fire which led to woman's dramatic rescue

These pictures show the blackened and buckled windows of the house on Morland Road.

Sam Merrill was one of two men who hauled the stricken woman from the property.

A 32-year-old glazer, from Arbourthorne, told how the smoke was so thick they could barely see a thing when they found her lying on the first-floor landing. He said the woman was ‘30 seconds from death’.
