A Denver firefighter who collapsed while fighting a basement blaze was released from the hospital and is in good condition, his fire chief said Thursday.
Billy Green will recover from his injuries at home.
Green, 35, was one of the first firefighters to enter the home at 501 S. High Street to fight a basement fire. He was later found by fellow firefighters, unconscious and down on the floor.
His wife, Dawn, said that this accident won't slow down her husband or consider retirement.
"He just loves it. He loves that he has great friends on the job and it's his passion," Dawn Green said.
