VIDEO: A Valley firefighter is defying all the odds, returning to the job after getting badly injured while fighting a fire last year that led to him having one of his legs amputated. Though he isnโt responding to daily calls on a fire truck anymore, fire captain Matt Rush has found his purpose differently. Rush has spent the last 30 years with the Tempe Fire Department and served our country as a Marine before that. What was supposed to be knee replacement surgery ended up in a leg amputation.
