Gresham firefighter Spencer Tejedas has been released from the Oregon Burn Center after over three months of intensive treatment for severe burns covering more than 45% of his body, sustained while responding to a fire on May 30. The blaze, which was caused by an unattended candle, resulted in a flashover that injured Tejedas and two other firefighters, who suffered minor injuries and were quickly discharged. Tejedas, 33, will now spend two to three weeks in a rehabilitation facility before returning home to his wife and two young sons. Gresham Fire Chief Scott Lewis praised Tejedas's remarkable progress and emphasized the dangers firefighters face, despite their training and protective gear. A GoFundMe campaign has raised over $240,000 to support his recovery, reflecting the community's support for the injured firefighter. This incident serves as a sobering reminder of the risks involved in firefighting and the bravery exhibited by those in the profession.
