Montrose firefighter, Scott McDowell, 38, of Montrose, carries water hoses while preparing to test them with firefighters during a training at the Montrose Fire Department.
McDowell suffered a mysterious illness that lead him to have both of his legs amputated by July 2011. McDowell is now on his second set of feet, and, unlike his first prosthetics, these feet will be able to withstand the heat and vigor needed to fight a fire.
