A mystery Good Samaritan has been praised after rushing to save a woman’s car from a fire while she was inside a nearby sunbed shop.
Rebecca Cooper, 27, had popped in for a late-night tanning session when her white Audi suddenly caught fire outside.
The nursery SENCO, from Rushden, Northamptonshire, had no idea her vehicle was ablaze as she lay on the sunbed.

But a quick-thinking passer-by spotted the smoking car and raced to grab a fire extinguisher, as reported by Need To Know.
Dramatic footage shows the man pointing the extinguisher at the vehicle before releasing a cloud of foam to smother the flames.
His quick actions helped put out the fire and minimise the damage to Rebecca’s car.
The incident happened outside Tesco Express in Finedon at around 7:17 pm on 9 November.
Rebecca later took to social media to try to track down her mystery rescuer so she could thank him properly.
She wrote: “Hi, I’m looking for somebody, a male who was outside Tesco Express in Finedon when my car set a light; I was on the sunbed and didn’t realise.”
She added: “He very quickly grabbed a fire extinguisher and put my car out. Of course I thanked him in the moment but so much was going on I didn’t catch his name and I want to be able to thank him properly.”
“What a hero.”
Rebecca said she was grateful for the stranger’s quick thinking and bravery, which prevented the situation from becoming much worse.
