TRENTON, Pa. — A volunteer Falls Township, Pa., firefighter who helped carry an unconscious woman from a killer apartment fire early Tuesday has been fired from his day job after revealing he suffered a hernia in the rescue effort.
Dustin Zeek, 23, of the Falls Township Fire Department, and other firefighters pulled Wesley McKinnon, 21, and his girlfriend, Whitney Sanders, out of their burning, smoky unit at Colonial Gardens at 490 Plaza Blvd. in Morrisville, Pa.
“Due to me helping take the victim out of the fire, I suffered a hernia,” Zeek told The Trentonian yesterday.
“I realized it the next morning. And I went to work, and I worked a full day Wednesday.”
