Josh Williams, who sustained third-degree burns to 30 percent of his body, is expected to stay in an Augusta burn center for at least another 30 days, LaGrange city spokeswoman Katie Van Schoor said in a news release.
Jonathan Williamson, Pete Trujillo and Jordan Avera continue to recover from their second- and third-degree burns at Grady Memorial Hospital, Schoor said.
The four, along with fellow firefighters Lt. James Ormsby III and Sean Guerrero, battled a blaze Monday at a home on Revis Street before becoming trapped inside the residence, AJC.com previously reported.
Ormsby and Guerrero received minor injuries. The family living in the home escaped unharmed.
A GoFundMe page was set up to help with expenses, with a $25,000 goal. It had raised more than $18,000 as of Friday afternoon.
