Two bricklayers raced to the scene of a gas explosion in Bedford which killed at least one person.
The heroic pair said they arrived to find one man in his 20s unconscious on the ground.
‘The younger guy was face-down and unconscious. The other was screaming in agony with blood on his arm. I think he’d broken his hip.’ Two suffered smoke inhalation and were taken to Bedford Hospital South Wing, while a third sustained leg injuries and was airlifted to Addenbrooke’s Hospital.Shocking images show a building engulfed in flames
