The condition of a firefighter who was hurt when he plunged through the floor of a burning Stittsville home continues to improve, the city’s fire chief said Thursday.
He is no longer intubated as he receives care including management of his pain, Chief Gerry Pingitore said on social media, offering thanks for the continued support for the firefighter’s recovery with the hashtags #communityspirit and #thoughtsprayersappreciated.
Two volunteer firefighters were hurt Monday while battling a blaze that broke out in the basement of a home at 24 Snowberry Way, causing an estimated $750,000 in damage.
The pair were helping to rescue a resident when the floor collapsed. One was able to climb up a fire hose but the second was in critical condition when he was pulled to safety.
He was alert by the time he arrived at the Queensway Carleton Hospital but was initially put in an induced coma to prevent his airway from swelling shut.
The second firefighter was released from hospital.
