LITTLETON, Colo. — It’s been one week since four Houston Firefighters lost their lives in a hotel and restaurant fire.

One firefighter remains in the hospital in a coma and has since had both of his legs amputated. On Saturday, eight Colorado fire departments came together in the form of a workout to raise money for those firefighters and their families.
