A model has been dubbed the world’s sexiest firefighter after she was seen saving lives during a huge blaze.

Mookthida Junsonkom, 28, was pictured rushing into the inferno which destroyed more than 100 homes last month in Bangkok.

Screaming residents fled but Mookthida, whose nickname is ‘Fun’, grabbed a hose and helped to douse the flames, potentially saving lives. Several people were injured and rushed to the hospital.

Pictures of Mookthida in action emerged on social media and locals branded her the world’s hottest firefighter and nicknamed her the ‘sexy fire girl’.

”I started working as a rescue volunteer when I was 13 years old,” said Mookthida yesterday (September 14) during a training session in Bangkok.

”Now we have our own fire truck and my job is to hold the nozzle of the hose and fire the water at the flames.

”I love it. This is my dream. To hear the people we help say ‘thank you’, it’s a feeling that cannot be bought.”

Mookthida works as a freelance model doing promotional work in Thailand – making a lucrative income in the beauty-obsessed country.

However, in her free time, she swaps her skimpy clothes for a firefighter’s uniform.

She is the only woman in the ‘Sudsakorn’ rescue unit but is never intimated by the masculine environment.

”I’m as brave as any man,” she said. ”When people are in need, everything else is not important. We put other people’s lives first.”

Mookthida said she first inspired to volunteer with her local rescue group – charitable foundations that support the emergency services – when she was a child and saw a kitten being rescued.

She added: ”I want to encourage everyone to put some of their time and energy into helping people in their community. Volunteers are crucial to rescue teams. Everywhere around the world, they cannot function without people giving up their time to help.”
