Last of Five Burned D.C. Firefighters Released from Hospital

After two long months of hospitalization, Firefighter Chuck Ryan was welcomed home by four other firefighters who were burned fighting a fire in the Northeast section of D.C. Ryan was the most severely burned during the fire and received second and third degree burns over 30% of his body.

Firefighter Ryan was trapped in a roof collapse during the fire on April 8, 2011. Ryan is also a volunteer fire chief and when asked whether or not he would return to active duty, Ryan stated: Oh I'll be back - absolutely. 100%. There's no question. I will be back. I've made it back home. Now my mission is to make it back to work."
