FIREFIGHTERS hailed a Rotherham man a hero after he dramatically rescued his neighbour from a chip pan blaze.
Adrian Berridge (26), spotted flames through the kitchen window of the first floor flat on The Maltings in Canklow.
He found his neighbour crawling on the floor of the smoke-filled kitchen and pulled him to safety before extinguishing the chip pan fire with a damp towel.

Hide AdAdrian said: "The flames didn't look too bad but the amount of thick black smoke was absolutely unbelievable.
"I knew how to safely put out a chip pan fire, so once I'd got the man outside I ran upstairs to get a wet towel".
Adrian's girlfriend then called 999 and fire crews and paramedics were quickly on the scene.
The occupant was taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation.
