A Queensland man has saved his neighbour's life, using a mop bucket to fight the fire that was destroying the unit.
Four days ago, in the early hours of the morning, Matthew Langler woke up to the smell of smoke and the sight of his neighbours unit door on fire.
Barefoot and wearing just his Roosters footy shorts, the 24-year-old jumped over his neighbour's fence in search of something to fight the fire.
Out of desperation, Langler grabbed a nearby mop bucket to fight the flames and stated that he simply started to fill it with water, as there was no fitting on a tap to connect a nearby hose.
