Worcester firefighter saved by Lt. Jason Menard released from hospital

WORCESTER, Mass. — A Worcester firefighter saved by his colleague, fallen firefighter Lt. Jason Menard, has been released from the hospital.

Deputy Fire Chief Martin Dyer confirmed that Worcester firefighter Chris Pace was released from UMass Memorial Medical Center on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old suffered serious injuries while battling house fire Nov. 13. He was pulled to safety by Menard after they'd went into the home to look for a baby reportedly trapped inside.

Menard also helped save another colleague, but the 39-year-old wasn't able to escape himself.
