Rhodes: 'Hero' British dad uses rental car to rescue tourists from wildfires



A dad has been hailed a hero after he risked his life to save people from the raging wildfires in Rhodes during an eight hour operation.

Jonathan Lewis, 62, made six return trips in and out of the danger zone in his hire car – helping several families flee to safety.

He had been holidaying with his family on the Greek island when the fires broke out at the beginning of last week.
