CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — A fire chief tied the knot last weekend after spending more than a month undergoing rehab.
North Georgia Fire Chief Matthew Mann was seriously injured in a vehicle crash Jan. 19 while transporting an inmate in a prisoner van. Another driver crossed the centerline and struck the van head-on, reported WRCB-TV.
“Thank God for letting me pull through and be able to get married,” Chief Mann said.
Chief Mann and his wife, Jessica, married Sunday surrounded by friends, family and fellow firefighters.
“A lot of the time we don’t get to do something like this for our brother. It is really nice to be a part of it. Celebrate his day and his wife’s day,” Lt. Lamar Hall said.
