This week marks two months since a house fire that left Eric Whitehead with severe burns to his hands.
On Thursday, he shared that he's still getting treatment for those injuries, but he's eager to get back to work.
The Buffalo Fire Department responded to a house fire on Butler Avenue on January tenth. As they worked to put out the flames, Whitehead was struck in the head with debris.
He was disoriented and got separated from the group.
He then took off his gloves and tried to hit his "man down" button, but could not.
"I just relied on my training, had to stay calm because I knew my brothers were close," he said.
That's when his fellow firefighters rushed to help him, and saved his life.
