Two men who helped rescue a pair of teenage sisters from the third floor of a burning building in Galway last week have downplayed their heroics and insist that they were just doing their best. He initially tried to climb the drainpipe on the three-storey building in a desperate attempt to reach the two girls, but couldn’t manage to get near. The girls had gathered at a small window and were struggling to breathe with the fire expanding behind them. Confusion ensued as one of them thought their younger siblings were still inside the burning building. Despite the two girls owing their lives to the actions of the three men, the two Algerians dismissed any talk of heroics or bravery.
