A hero paperboy helped warn pensioners about a fire that killed their non -ages of neighbors, allowing the couple to escape before the fire flooded their adjacent bungalow.
Joel Hart supplied the Daily Mail to Tragic Len Hall, 96, and Woman Pat, 93, when he heard the smoke alarm of the couple ring and smoke smoke when he opened their letterbox.
Unable to look in the building while the blinds were down, the 15-year-old began to call the doorbell of the Mistrys who lived next door, so that they could flee to safety.
The schoolboy said: 'I heard the alarm and could smell burning as soon as I opened the letterbox, but when I looked through it, I couldn't see flames or smoke.
“I thought I had to tell the neighbors because something was wrong. I am just happy that I could help and they could get out, but it is really sad that two people died. '
Joel said that the neighbor, Bhanumati Mistry, went directly to the son of the halls who lives on the same road in Rugby, Warwickshire, to warn him of the fire.
The teenager, who goes to the Harris Church of England Academy School in the city, then called 999 and waited on the spot until fire staff and the police arrived.
He told how he saw Mr Hall, 62, try to make his way within the back door of the bungalow to find his parents, to be beaten alone by smoke.

Police, fire brigade and ambulance certainties descended on the building in Firs Drive shortly after 7 a.m.
“As soon as he opened the back door, a huge plume of smoke came out,” Joel added.
Mrs. Mistry, 68, said MailOnline that she had been in her kitchen at the back of the house and 'completely did not know' from the fire when the schoolboy called her doorbell on Monday at 7 in the morning. Her husband Narendra, 75, was still in bed in bed.
She said: 'We are very grateful. Our house is damaged, but it could have been worse.
“The boy called our bell and told us that there was a fire alarm. I couldn't hear it from my kitchen and my husband is still heard. '
Mrs. Mistry added: “Thanks to the boy we managed to get out.”
Mrs. Mistry said that the corridors were 'really nice people', and added: 'I will miss them as I would be with family. I am very upset because of their loss. '
The son of the halls did not want to comment after the fire on Monday morning.
Joel lives with his parents Rebecca, 38, and Liam, 30, and three younger brothers and sisters in the city. His mother said it had taught their children to call 999 in an emergency. She added: 'We never thought this would happen, but Joel did what he had to do and we are so proud of him.
“He helped save the life of the neighbors.”
Dilakshan Theivenhiram, 29, who runs the Diyann ​​ease shop in Rugby, where the halls paid every month for their newspaper delivery, said: “I am very proud of what Joel did.

But thanks to Joel's quick thinking, he was able to warn the neighboring Mistrys on the fire (depicted: the roof at the back of the building was partially destroyed by the fire, while a dormer window was burned out at the front)
“He called 999 after he discovered fire and then came back to the store to tell me what had happened.”
Mr Theivenhiram added: 'Joel worked for me for about three months. He is a good boy who did his best to help.
“The Lord and Mrs. Hall were lovely people. I inherited them as delivery customers when I took over the store four years ago. They took the Daily Mail, but were whole, very older, so it was usually their son who came to pay for the bill for them. He also had the newspaper delivered. '
The halls were married for more than 70 years and had lived in their dormer bungalow for at least 25 years, Buren said.
Mr Hall, a former draftsman, was a dedicated cricket fan that was praised last year as one of the most loyal and long-term members of his province. In a video posted on the Warwickshire County Cricket Club website in September, Mr. Hall received a team shirt with his name and age on the back by the President of the Club, Dennis Amiss.
The niece of the couple, Dawn Hall, 65, a retired NHS administrative employee, said that her uncle was' as fit as a violin, for a man's age ', adding to it:' He would certainly have lived up to 100. '
She told MailOnline Mr. and Mrs. Hall supported Coventry City and regularly attended competitions in their younger days, including the famous FA Cup FA Cup victory of the team at Tottenham Hotspur in Wembley in 1987.
Mrs. Hall, also from rugby, added: 'Gary said he was trying to step in the back of the house, but when he opened the door, he was hit with clouds of smoke.
“Uncle Len and Aunty Pat were completely dedicated to me would walk hand in hand through the street.”
The eruption broke out on a quiet estate close to the city center, little more than a stone's throw from the rugby school, where cost prices amounted to £ 53,000 for the current academic year.
Chief inspector Charlie Naughton of the Warwickshire police said that the cause of the fire was being investigated.

A spokesperson for the ambulance service in West Midlands said: 'Crews arrived to find fire colleagues that tackle the fire.
'Unfortunately, despite the efforts of the team of colleagues from the emergency services, it soon became clear that nothing could be done to save a man and a woman in the building, and they were both confirmed on the deceased scene.
“A second woman was assessed by ambulance personnel on stage before he was fired.”
On Saturday, the body of a woman from in thirty was found at an address in the nearby Radford, Coventry. The cause of the fire was treated as inexplicably, in which the police of West Midlands collaborated with fire brigade colleagues to determine what happened.
