Mother survives blaze that kills husband, daughters

Michelle Walls was the only survivor of the blaze that destroyed her Dundalk home, killing husband Eddie and daughters Natasha, three, and 18-month-old Theresa.

Mrs Walls managed to escape the fire by jumping out an upper window at the front of the two-storey house. Neighbours who raised the alarm after seeing smoke coming from a downstairs window attempted to get into the house to save Mr Walls and the children but could not get past the intense heat, smoke and flames.
