Gravesend postwoman Priya Ponton saved an elderly disabled man who was stuck in a fire at his flat.

‘I was on my normal walk when I heard a fire alarm in a block of flats,’ says Priya.

‘I went in to take a look and found smoke coming from an open door.

‘I heard the man call for help, and went in to find him in his wheelchair with a blazing fire caused by the toaster.’

He had already pulled a cord in his home linking to the emergency services, but Priya wheeled him outside and told all his neighbours in the same block to evacuate too.

Priya adds: ‘I was running a little bit late that day, but in the end I’m glad I was, or he could have been stuck in there for longer.’
