Lakewood Firefighter Recovering After Injuring Shoulder During Fire

Rob 7401Lakewood Firefighter Rob Leon is recovering at home after injuring his shoulder during Saturday’s fatal fire at the High Point Condominiums. Rob was injured while pulling a water line though the narrow apartment stairway, trying to reach the torched bedroom. He was taken from the scene via EMS to KMC, where he was treated and released a short time later.

TLS spoke with Rob a short time ago who says a follow-up from the Doctors will determine the extent of his injury.

“I’d take this over other (fire-related) injuries any day”, he says.

Rob, on behalf of the TLS staff, we would like to wish you a speedy recovery.

  5. #4- very true. think about all the gas money these guys are looking trying to protect YOU & ME. there has to be some form of legislation that will atleast give these guys a $100gas card every year.
