A six-year-old boy has been hailed a hero after raising an alarm about a fire and leading his young brother to safety.

Harley Robson from Kings Norton in Birmingham was visiting his grandma on Tuesday afternoon when he noticed there was an unusual smell in the flat.

When their grandmother Kim Daniels, 50, went to check the kitchen of her home, she was shocked to see a tea towel had caught fire.
