A carer has been hailed a “hero” after rescuing an elderly woman, her grandson and two pet dogs from a raging fire at her home.
Monika Szurkus-Urbanaka, who works for Myhomecare.ie, is being put forward for the title of Carer of the Year after performing the daring rescue at the home of one of her clients, an 81-year-old lady in Corbally, in the suburbs of Limerick.
