Two of eight Orange County firefighters injured last month in a rollover crash remain hospialized while two others were moved to rehabilitation centers Wednesday.
Two firefighters were released the night of the crash, two went home the following day and the last four remained hospitalized for nearly two weeks.
Andrew Brown is one of the two firefighters transitioning to Craig Hospital in Colorado, which specializes in neurorehabilitation for patients with spinal injuries, NBCLA reported.
Cheers and applause erupted for Brown as he was discharged from Orange County's Providence Mission Hospital.
"Like all eight of the OCFA patients, Andrew continues to show the same strength and courage that makes him a tremendous hand crew firefighter," said OCFA Captain Thanh Nguyen.
Firefighters lined the airport in Colorado to give Brown a warm welcome as he moved into his next phase of recovery.
