Mum-of-two Jaynina Andrews, 37, was in Lindos, Rhodes, with her family for her brother's wedding when they began smelling smoke and seeing thick black clouds while relaxing at the pool
Jonathan Lewis, of Attleborough, Norfolk, was on a family holiday on the Greek island as the flames were blown towards the coast, where he was staying, and decided to rescue stranded families.
to get her on the boat for them to take her. and then that was a little bit tricky and while they were dragging her up i did actually crawl under her legs, which i did more for her than anything because she actually needed me to be with her. so, we were really lucky, we got off the beach, but there were hundreds and literally thousands of people still on the beach, and everybody was screaming, they were fighting, it was. it was like armageddon. they were in the sea, there was nowhere for them to go. we could see that the fire was chasing us down, there was nobody there, there was no one telling us what to do. so, this boat took us to lardos beach, they left us at lardos beach, there was no taxis, there was no phone signals, and again, i was very lucky that the guy at the apartments there knew somebody who worked at my hotel, they then sent somebody from their staff, our hotel, and the greek people, i have to say, have been unbelievable.
