11月29日 - 曼彻斯特消防队长24天前在公寓大楼的大火中救出居民时，曼彻斯特消防队长被严重烧毁，周一下午，他的家人的拥抱和数十名兄弟消防员的祝福。
DesRuissueaux turned emotional at times when he addressed about four dozen firefighters who crowded outside his Reed Street home on the West Side.
他说：“您的支持和慷慨对我来说是压倒性的。”他离开了乘用车的前排座位，该乘用车带着警察摩托车和消防车的护送到达。“您为我的家人所做的一切，我无法偿还。”
DesRuisseaux suffered second- and third-degree burns to more than one-third of his body when a flashover took place just after he guided a resident to a ladder propped against a second-story porch railing.
He underwent at least three surgeries at Massachusetts General Hospital and has healed well enough that he was able to bypass the normal route to a rehabilitation center and go straight home, wrote Mary Parah, who launched a GoFundMe campaign for DesRuisseaux.
曼彻斯特消防局长安德烈·父母（Andre Parent）说：“对于这个消防部门来说，这是令人难以置信的一天。”“他到达的情况是一个可怕的情况。他做了一件令人难以置信的工作，不仅是史蒂夫，而且是他的整个工作人员。”
DesRuisseaux was wearing street clothes as he stood on the lawn of his family home. Other than bandages on his left hand and left ear he looked fine. And as he embraced fellow firefighters, strong back slaps sounded through the crisp air.
“I can’t wait to get back on the line with all you guys,” he said as his voice started to break. “I just love what I do. I love all you guys.”
He broke down while acknowledging the devotion of his wife, Colleen, and their embrace was met with another round of applause.
On Nov. 6, DesRuisseaux and fellow firefighters rescued six people, including a baby, from a burning 2 1/2-story building at 10 Dutton St. in the Janesville neighborhood of Manchester. The fire claimed the life of Kathryn Conn, 59, who died of smoke inhalation. Authorities have said the fire was an accident and likely caused by an electrical issue.
DesRuisseaux had just led a third-floor resident to a ladder propped against a rear second-floor porch railing when a flashover started burning everything in sight.
As he started to slide down the ladder on his stomach, his breathing apparatus snagged on the ladder. A fellow firefighter kicked out the ladder to get DesRuisseaux away from the flames.
一名试图释放Desruisseaux的消防员Scott Brassard中尉在梯子上摔倒并遭受脚踝扭伤时就在梯子上。他上周回到工作。
Manchester firefighters were at DesRuisseaux’s hospital bedside nearly constantly, and Boston firefighters met Colleen DesRuissesaux even before her husband arrived at Mass. General, Parent said.
Manchester and Boston firefighters attended the hockey games of his son, Jack, to cheer him on.
DesRuisseaux has had to undergo at least three surgeries — skin grafts where thin layers of his healthy skin are removed and placed over the burned skin, doubling the amount of wounds on his body, according to Parah’s account.
“The pain this guy is in, and literally doesn’t complain is mind boggling. He doesn’t make a peep as they do things to him,” she wrote two weeks ago.
Parent said that whenever DesRuisseaux is ready to return to work, the chief will find a light-duty job for him. Eventually, Parent hopes DesRuisseaux will return to active duty.
父母说：“我将在线上为他敞开的位置。”
在线筹款活动寻求20,000美元，但截至周一下午，已筹集了56,200美元。
