A TAXI driver has helped save an elderly woman trapped in a house fire in Sydney's west.
The blaze started in the front bedroom of a cottage on Como St, Merrylands about 1pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, a Fire and Rescue NSW spokesman said.
An 87-year-old woman was inside the home with her female carer, but it's believed they had trouble getting out, he said.
Taxi driver Hassan Charouk was driving along Como St when he saw the house alight.
He told the Seven Network the blaze was "terrifying", but he didn't think twice about going inside to help.
"(It was) very scary. When I entered the house it was dark and scary. I was able to get the old lady, pick her up and drag her out," he said.
The woman was taken to Westmead Hospital due to smoke inhalation.
The front bedroom of the home was extensively damaged, Fire and Rescue NSW said.
