An Orange County firefighter who suffered spinal cord injuries in a September freeway rollover was released from a Colorado rehabilitation facility Friday. Brown was one of eight members of the Orange County Fire Authority's Santiago Hand Crew hurt in the Sept. 18 accident on State Route 241 in Irvine. That man, whose family has asked that he not be identified publicly, is also undergoing treatment at Craig Hospital. He said he was told in the intensive care unit to expect to be bedridden for months. But by the beginning of October, doctors felt he was strong enough to travel to Colorado in a gurney for rehab.
