What the woman did was definitely brave, but I'm not yet convinced it was smart or necessary. The article gives her credit for "saving" the kid, but it also sounds like the baby was essentially unharmed and would have been fine laying in the father's arms for another 5-10 minutes until the power was shut off and rescuers arrived.
In no way do I want to discourage people from heroically risking their own safety to save others, but I do think there's a difference between doing so when things are urgent and doing so when the situation is stable and help is on the way. This specific situation seems to be in the latter bucket, unless there's more information not in the article.
