Halifax gas explosion: VIDEO shows extent of blaze that ripped through six Halifax homes

Firefighters from five stations were called to the huge blaze on Ovenden Crescent in the early hours.

Four brave dads from King Cross helped three pensioners from their burning homes.

The men said instinct kicked in, and they knew they had to make sure people were safe.

One of the dads, Ajmal Aziz, said: "We did what we could. We would hope other people would do the same for our parents if they were in that situation."
