TWO men who saved a woman from a house fire in Liskeard in April 2011 were praised for their actions at the annual award ceremony of the Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service.

Police Constable Johnny Haynes from Liskeard, who is stationed at Launceston, and Pensilva builder John Underwood, were presented with the Chief Fire Officer's Commendation by the Chief Fire Officer Des Tidbury, for rescuing the woman from the fire 'with little concern for their own safety'.
