Prince George’s County Fire/EMS Department Mark Brady reports on his blog that Bladensburg VFD’s Sgt. Kevin O’Toole, burned in a fire in Riverdale, is expected to be released from the Medstar Burn Unit at the Washington Hospital Center this afternoon:
Kevin O’Toole and his family have been told he should be discharged sometime between 1 pm and 2 pm. Kevin can be soft spoken and does not relish the media spotlight. He has agreed to make comments to the media after he leaves the hospital and before he boards Bladensburg Truck 809, the unit he was on the night of the fire, for a return trip home, the fire station, to ceremoniously close the incident.
Kevin will not address the incident itself and requests the media refrain from asking those questions. He will respond to questions about his injuries, treatment, support and immediate plans for the future
O’Toole was the most serviously injured of seven firefighters in the wind driven February 24 house fire on 57th Avenue.
