Passer-by raised alarm to save three siblings from fire

A passer-by raised the alarm about a house fire in Seaham in time for three members of a family to escape.

The fire, believed to have been started deliberately, had spread from a wheelie bin to the back door of the house in Windermere Road. Police believe a motorbike propped up next to the bin had been left there on purpose: "literally to add fuel to the fire."

A man passing the house spotted the flames and alerted a 20-year-old man and his two younger sisters, who were inside. They escaped, and the older brother went back into the house and rescued three dogs.

Spennymoor captain "over the moon"

Spennymoor Town captain Daniel Moore says he's "over the moon" after his side won the FA Vase with a 2-1 victory over Tunbridge Wells at Wembley.

The Moors skipper sat out the match with a broken ankle, but he didn't let the injury dampen his spirits. He said: "I'm over the moon now. I was a bit emotional going up the steps and seeing all the fans come out.

"I've lost my voice standing on the side of the pitch trying to bark instructions out in front of their 10,000 or whatever they brought. But the fans have been unbelievable."
