Incredible moment hero lorry driver SAVES person from burning building

This is the heartstopping moment a hero lorry driver reversed his truck near a burning building to save a man. 

Huge plumes of black smoke could be seen billowing from a three-storey building in Granby Row, Dublin, yesterday morning. 

Dramatic footage posted online shows a Eurospar lorry with its hazard lights flashing edging closer to the building as the inferno rages above a Thai massage parlour.

A man wearing a dark top and trousers then leaps from the block and through the smoke before a deafening thud is heard as he lands on the lorry’s roof. 

A total of seven people were treated at the scene, with three being taken to hospital for treatment. 

Gardai is investigating the blaze with a spokesperson saying the street was closed in order for the scene to be preserved. 

A spokesperson said: ‘Gardai assisted emergency services at the scene of a fire at a premises on Granby Row, Dublin, this morning, Tuesday 24th June 2025.

‘The scene is currently being preserved and street is closed with local diversions in place.

‘Three people have been taken to hospital. Investigation is ongoing.’

Photos of the aftermath of the fire shows the building blackened and window frames melted with the glass shattered.    

A Dublin Fire Brigade spokesperson said earlier: ‘Dublin Fire Brigade was called at 0813 hrs to reports of a fire in a building off Granby Row. On arrival firefighters found a four storey building with a fire located on the third floor. 

‘In total, seven people were treated at the scene with three being transported to hospital by two Dublin Fire Brigade ambulances and one National Ambulance Service ambulance. 

‘Six fire engines were sent to the incident including a turntable ladder and emergency tender.
