Lamar Sandiford and about seven other neighbours were forced to ditch their shop conversation and jump into action to save a pensioner from a fire that engulfed his home at Bush Hall Yard Gap, St Michael.
Sandiford said it was not an easy effort but they were determined to rescue 81-year-old Hamilton Marshall who appeared equally determined to stay put.
The brave villager told
Barbados TODAY: “We tried to save him and bring him out of there, but he was real stubborn coming out, so I had to use a little force but then the smoke was so thick I tell the guys we have to come out and wet the other sides of the house and make sure the rest of the people good. It is a lucky thing that we save he. You can get back a house anytime, but you can’t get back a life.”
