A dad defied flames to rescue his four year old son from a house fire
Little Naveed Aslam was snatched to safety by his father Mohamed, who was beaten back three times by smoke and flames before eventually reaching his son, who was trapped in a downstairs room.
The fire took hold of the family home in Walnut Street, Blackburn in 1979, after the four-year-old dropped a lit match into a bin.
