Fasting Muslims risk their lives to save people from UK tower fire
Tehran (KNA) - A group of Muslims from a mosque in the British capital London have committed a heroic act by rushing into a burning block tower to save people sleeping inside.
The WTX News said in a Saturday report that Muslim worshippers who had been leaving Madina Mosque in London's Hackney neighborhood risked their lives to enter the building when they saw the blaze overnight.
The report said the Muslim men spotted the fire on the eighth floor of Gooch House on Kenninghall Road when they finished their morning prayer and left the mosque.
It said although fasting because of the holy month of Ramadan, the men forcibly entered the building, went to the top floor and started banging on doors and waking everyone up. They worked their way down from the 18th floor trying to inform and rescue people.
