Auckland chef drags unconscious woman to safety from house fire

An Auckland restaurateur says he is still shaken after his Sunday morning commute included bolting from his hastily parked car, jumping over a high picket fence and dragging an unconscious stranger to safety as her home went up in flames. Chef Phillip Clark spoke to the Herald from the kitchen at Kingsland Social, where the newlywed and father of three still managed to put in a full shift. “[It] all happened so fast. I just reacted,” he said. “I don’t regret it.”
