A Frederick County man is recovering in a hospital after a fire broke out at his home.
“I was freaked out because I was scared for my dad,” Candace Sier recounted.
Sier said her father, Brett Russ, was pulled out of his burning home last week.
“I had no information except that he was trapped in the house and then when we got there, I found out that he was trying to break out of the basement door and that’s where the firemen pulled him out of,” Sier said. Russ had gotten his hands broken and severely burned while trying to escape the flames. Seir said with his injuries she’s not sure how her father will be able to go back to work, which he loves so much.
“He touches up vehicles so this part will be really hard because he broke his pinkie on his right hand and both of his hands on his fingers are burned,” Sier said.
