Local hero catches tot flung from house blaze

Oblivious to the danger she was in, baby Mila Murphy smiled and giggled when local hero Mark Furlong caught her in his arms yesterday.

Terrifyingly, the three-month old baby had just been dropped from the third storey of a burning building in Dublin by her father, Derek Healy.

Mark, 20, said he was sitting on a wall in Gloucester Place, off Sean McDermott St early yesterday morning when he heard screaming.
