Lubbock Firefighter Matt Dawson Returning to Lubbock August 13th

On Thursday, August 13th, Lubbock Firefighter Matt Dawson, who was injured while responding to a crash back in January, will return to Lubbock from his rehabilitation at Craig Hospital in Colorado.

Dawson will be arriving at Lubbock Aero at around 1 p.m. From there, he will be escorted to Lubbock Fire Administration at 1515 East Ursuline Street. After a reception next to LFR's training tower with friends and family, Dawson will be escorted to Moody NeuroRehabilitation at 1808 North Quaker Avenue.

Lubbock Fire Rescue is asking the public to show their support for Matt Dawson by lining the escort route (shown above) from LFR Administration to Moody NeuroRehabilitation.

In a post by Lubbock Fire Department, it's described what all Matt has been through over the past half-year. After being struck by a vehicle in the line-of-duty, Dawson was in a coma, has been through numerous surgeries, tacked every intense rehabilitation program since march and dealt with all of this during a pandemic.
