Firefighter with medical emergency during Lakewood Fire (March 2021) goes home

The firefighter that had a medical emergency during the Lakewood Fire (March 15, 2021). I wondered what had happened to him but heard no news. I figured that no news was good news. And it was.

I saw on a few social media accounts that the firefighter with the medical emergency, Brian Sauers, was released from the hospital on Friday, April 23rd. Brian is a 40-year veteran of the East Dover (NJ) Volunteer Fire Company and the NJ Forest Fire Service. The Asbury Park Press (paywall, but you get a couple of free articles) has a nice article on Brian's release from the hospital that you may find here (with photos). 


I was moved to see the response from the NJ Forest Fire and local fire companies lining up to greet him as he was released from the hospital. So nice to see a motorcade honoring and celebrating the living.
