Fort Worth Firefighter Caleb Halvorson --seriously burned more than a month ago -- is back home.
Halvorson was trapped under a collapsed garage roof while fighting a fire on South Williams Street.
"I remember, right then… [thinking] I am gonna die. This is it. It feels like forever. You feel your skin burning and you feel this heavy weight on you," he told a CBS reporter Monday.
The burns were deeper than doctors at Parkland Hospital initially believed.
Through the multiple skin grafts and infections, one thing kept him focused on recovery -- his newborn son, who remains in the NICU.
"That's been my main motivation to get out. I haven't seen him in 34 days."
The painful incident was not career-changing either.
"By no means am I done or quitting. As soon as this is healed, I want to go back. I miss my brothers and my girls and boys at work. Deep in my heart, I am a fireman. I love my job. It's the best job in the world."
