OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - An Iowa Tribe firefighter who was seriously burned while fighting a wildfire in April has gone home after two months and two days in an Oklahoma City hospital.
Sixty-year-old David Milby was burned over 26% of his body and had second- and third-degree burns to his face, arms and back.
He was released from the hospital Thursday.
Milby was burned near Wellston when he and partner Jeff Bayhylle became stuck in a field and were trapped by flames that blew over them in their brush rig.
Bayhylle was treated and released from the hospital that day.
