There's good news in a story Spectrum News has been following, as an Albany Airport firefighter Josh Woodward is awake, conscious and speaking according to his wife.

 

It comes after the firefighter suddenly fell ill earlier this month with sepsis with family fearing he may not make it. Woodward's wife posted on Facebook about his progress saying his recovery is a miracle but it is far from over.

The scary situation prompted an outpouring of support from members of other local fire departments who know Woodward or have worked with him in the past.

There is also a GoFundMe set up to help the family.
