A Williamstown volunteer firefighter is recovering after being caught in a ceiling collapse and flashover at a fire that broke out on Humes Ridge Road Tuesday evening. Matt Combs is seen on the body cam of another firefighter rolling out of the burning building, still on fire. “Matt’s coming out of the structure. His gear is on fire. You can see the fire dripping off from some of his helmet,” said Williamstown Chief Les Whalen. Crews watered down the flames on his gear and then sent him to UC Medical Center. Combs was treated and released. He was back at the fire station Wednesday for a short time even though he’s still treating second-degree burns. The video was from a body camera worn by Williamstown volunteer firefighter Jordan Jump.
