An Oregon firefighter remains in critical condition nearly two weeks after he suffered severe burns while responding to a house fire.

Gresham Fire Chief Scott Lewis said Spencer Tejedas has had three skin graft surgeries, and he remains intubated at Legacy Memorial Hospital.

Tejedas was among a team of firefighters responding to a fire at a duplex on Southeast 182nd on May 30.“Fire conditions deteriorated rapidly,” Lewis said. “We expect our firefighters to go into these situations at any time,” he said. “This one turned bad, real bad.” “Candles are not the solution,” he said. “An unattended candle is literally a fire looking for a place to happen.”
