[Guest]

LOHUD had a story about it, said one of the members suffered a severe injury. Can anyone report on their well being?

Been wondering about this myself so I searched a bit..

ALL Of these quotes are from lohud.com;

Firefighter Brian Holmes, a three-year veteran with the Haverstraw department, was taken to the medical center in Valhalla for smoke inhalation and a high level of carbon dioxide in his blood stream.

Richard Obergon, the nursing supervisor at the medical center, said last night that Holmes was in stable condition.

Firefighter Eric Rausch was taken to Nyack Hospital for heat exhaustion, and firefighter Afran Castro Jr. was treated for an ankle injury.

Carbon DIOXIDE.....wow...LOL

And more recent article;

Haverstraw Fire Chief Peter Rugg said yesterday that one of the two firefighters , Eric Rausch, had been released from the hospital.

The other, Brian Holmes, was still being treated, but his condition was improving, Rugg said.

Let the speculation begin.......no mask? Trapped and ran out of air? Hero not using a mask? C'mon Bravo Detectives...sic him!

Best wishes and speedy recover to the injured Firemen.
