An elderly disabled woman was rescued from a burning vehicle
in Roxburgh this week, seconds before the vehicle filled up
with toxic smoke, Roxburgh's deputy chief fire officer, David
Welsh, said.
A young man walking his son home from school on Monday
noticed smoke coming from the vehicle in Scotland St and
pulled the woman out.
"Another 20 or 30 seconds later, and it could've been a
disaster,' Mr Welsh said.
The vehicle was gutted.
