Vol hailed a hero by neighbours

John Hydes, who moved from New Zealand six months ago, saved his neighbour’s 5-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter from their Point Cook home minutes before the roof collapsed.

Mr Hydes is a volunteer with Grovedale Fire Brigade and recently moved to Point Cook. He spoke to media about the rescue saying "he just did what anyone would do" if faced with the same sitation.
