A BRAVE neighbour saved the life of a man who collapsed in a burning house. Quick-thinking David Wannop dragged his next door neighbour, John Fitzpatrick, to safety after he was overcome by smoke and passed out in his home in Willows Lane, Accrington. Mr Fitzpatrick had fallen asleep and a cigarette set the living room furniture on fire. He collapsed behind his front door after trying to tackle the fire.
