Yesterday I told you about the fire on the balcony at Liam Payne's London apartment on Monday night (September 2) that injured three people, including Liam's best friend Andy Samuels, who suffered the worst of the injures with 20% burns to his face, chest, legs, and arms.
The fire happened when Andy went to refuel a heater on the balcony and the heater exploded. Following the blast, Liam accompanied Andy in the ambulance ride to the hospital and has stayed bedside with his friend since. Today Andy's family is thanking Liam for his quick action telling about how he immediately jumped into action saving Andy's life.
"We are so grateful to Liam because he saved his life," Andy's step father Matthew Baker said, according to The Mirror. "The lantern just exploded as Andy was lighting it and he took the full force of the flames. Liam helped him by beating out the flames and dousing him with water. He acted quickly and swiftly."

He added: "What happened was absolutely awful. My son is very poorly. I’ve spoken to Liam on the phone and he told me exactly what happened. He is very shocked himself. It’s bad enough but it could have been a lot worse."
Andy’s sister, Harriet, also thanked Liam saying: "I want to thank Liam for saving my brother."
The fire destroyed 80% of Liam's balcony and also left two others injured with burns on their hands. Liam was not injured in the blaze.
It's safe to say Liam is a hero and he can officially say he saved someone's life. Just another reason to add to the list of reasons to love him.
Thoughts and prayers continue to be with Andy and everyone involved in the fire.
