UK Firefighter Talks of Incident That Made Him Disabled

From thisislancashire.co.uk, Firefighter Steve Morris talks about a deadly run that changed his life forever:
Three years after being permanently disabled in a house fire which killed a grandmother and her four-year-old granddaughter, Mr Morris has given his support to a disability hate crime campaign to be launched next week.

The blaze, in Little Holme Walk, Great Lever, on June 23, 2008, claimed the lives of Hameeda Begum, aged 71, and her granddaughter Alana Mian.

The firefighter, part of Green Watch at Bolton Central Fire Station, suffered burns to 52 per cent of his body and had to have all his fingers amputated.

He broke his elbow, damaged his spine and had to learn to walk again.
