4 firefighters remain under medical treatment after a crash on the 241 Freeway in Irvine, Orange County

IRVINE, Calif. (KABC) — Four firefighters remain under medical treatment following a fire truck crash on the 241 Freeway in Orange County last month.

At that point, eight firefighters were returning from a 12-hour shift on the front line of the massive airport fire when they were involved in a rollover accident in the Irvine area.

According to the California Highway Patrol, a vehicle swerved in front of the fire truck to avoid a ladder and the vehicle also skidded, struck the guardrail on the right shoulder and rolled several times. Eight firefighters were injured in the incident.

Of the eight firefighters, two remain hospitalized and the other two have been transferred to rehabilitation facilities since Thursday.

Andrew Brown was wheeled out of Mission Hospital on Wednesday to the cheers of his fellow soldiers. A large procession followed and firefighters escorted him to John Wayne Airport.

There he was loaded onto a medical transport plane for a flight to Colorado, where he will continue his recovery.
