Our Kidde Hero of the Week spotlights Rosemary Carrea.
Recently, Kix found this story on People Magazine's website and wanted to share it with you!
One day, 70 year-old Rosemary Carrea heard a commotion in the parking lot of the Mooresville, North Carolina Super Target where she worked. She discovered a van on fire in the lot! People were standing around watching the van go up in flames not realizing that a person was inside until the vehicle's door opened.
When she saw the door open, Rosemary went into action. She pulled the disabled man out of the van never thinking about her own safety or the limitations she sufferes due to arthritis. Thanks to her selfless act, the man is expected to make a full recovery.
