I couldn't believe it -- my first day on the job, and I'm falling through the floor of a residential house. It was just something else.

I'm just really happy Capt. Joe Lay ... was there with me, because if he hadn't been with me, I really don't know where I would've been or how I would've escaped.

It was really, really scary. I can't put it in words -- the floor started to go. I can't describe the feeling, going into basement where fire had been. It was just very, very scary.

We're taking it a day at time,

Anytime there is someone playing hard every day it makes you push yourself even harder.

He is doing great, considering his condition. He is really progressing and getting much better every day.
