A MAN has described the moment he ran to save his neighbour after hearing a crash of thunder and watching his house go up in flames.
Reece Lambert, 33, was in his home on Lepp Crescent, Bury, on Sunday evening with his partner Amy Fox, 33, when they heard a 'loud bang!
Moments later they saw a 'big ball of white lightning' and watched in horror as the house at the end of their garden became engulfed in smoke.
Recalling what happened, Reece said: "We heard a loud bang and saw this big ball of white lightning and minutes later we were like 'I'm sure his bedroom is on fire. Then the curtains started going up. We saw him, our neighbour, downstairs and shouted 'your bedroom's on fire.
The next thing he was running up the stairs and started throwing water over the fire and putting blankets over it. Within minutes it just set ablaze, black charcoal smoke everywhere."
