Chris Logan quickly rushed into the building and saved a woman from the flames
A Dennistoun man has told of the heroic moment he ran back into a burning building to save his neighbour.
Initially the 38-year-old thought his friend was joking with him, however, when Chris stood up and checked for himself he was stunned.The worried man quickly rushed down the stairs of the tenement and towards his close where he was met with a wall of smoke. "As I was running up I was kicking and banging doors to alert everyone. Luckily I found out after a lot of folk weren't in their flats, but I didn't know this at the time.
"I realised I couldn't do anything and made my way downstairs. I passed my friend on the staircase but I have no memory of doing that. When I got downstairs I was screaming at all the neighbours to phone the emergency services."Oreo was a rescue cat and unfortunately passed away due to smoke inhalation. The woman upstairs also lost her two cats."
"My shoulder was dislocated after I smashed it off the floor. I managed to get her back up and that's when it got fuzzy because I don't remember much. The grieving cat owner said: "I was in to assess what could be salvaged and literally everything is gone.
