The mother of a 12-year-old who alerted his family when their home went up in flames before calling 999 has praised his bravery. Nicholas raised the alarm when he saw smoke pouring out of the master bedroom of their home in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, on Wednesday. He then called the emergency services while mum Jennifer made sure his seven-year-old twin sisters, who were also upstairs, were safe. Firefighters arrived at the scene at about 21:00 BST and extinguished the flames, while Jennifer and her daughter were taken to hospital after suffering smoke inhalation. NIcholas and Mum Jennifer spoke to Â鶹Éç Leicester's Ady Dayman.
