One local man got a special ride home from the hospital today. That man is Pell City Fire Captain Jeff Rogers. Rogers was discharged from UAB-West today after a two-month battle with COVID-19. His department surprised him as he left the hospital by giving him a ride home on his fire engine. The Pell City Fire Department used their Facebook page to thank the hospital staff for taking care of their co-worker and friend, and to thank the Bessemer Fire Department for their support as he left the hospital.
