from BBC Radio Foyle · host BBC Radio Foyle

A grandfather and grandson say they had a lucky escape after an oxygen tank caught fire and exploded inside their car on Wednesday evening. Conor Morrow had switched on his grandfather Odhran's oxygen to help him walk from the car to his Bishop Street home but it ignited inside the vehicle, burning his hand as he pushed his grandfather clear of the flames. Their car was completely destroyed. The fire service are treating the fire as accidental. Odhran and Conor Morrow have been speaking to our reporter Freya McClements.
