The hospital where a Wilmington firefighter is recovering following a deadly Canby Park rowhouse fire said her condition has become more serious.
Firefighter Ardythe Hope was downgraded to critical condition Wednesday at Crozer-Chester Medical Center in Upland, Pennsylvania, where she was taken after the Sept. 24 fire.
She had been listed as in critical but stable condition, a more favorable status, earlier in the week.
Hospital spokesman Grant Gegwich said they would not disclose what caused the change or when it occurred. Hospitals under federal law cannot release patient specifics other than their condition.
Hope was injured when a floor gave way in the Lakeview Road rowhouse, killing Capt. Christopher Leach and Lt. Jerry Fickes.
