Bilboro-lad 294 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 "Hotel staff came into work this morning still shaken by the tragedy. Back at work as usual was the hero of the fire slightly-built Gerard Sayer, the 18 year old hall porter and lift boy.Gerard took his lift up to the third floor through smoke and choking fumes and tried to save two elderly guests. He was rescued himself by ladder.Gerard of Upper Shoreham Road Shoreham, said this morning " I didn't really think about the risk at the time, I had the lift and I used it."
