Daniel Kerr thought he may still be on a ventilator for his 22nd birthday. Instead, he was back at home, surrounded by family and friends.MACCLENNY, Fla. — Less a three weeks after a deadly fire claimed the lives of four people, one of the survivors is recovering back at home. Family and friends held a birthday party for 22-year-old Daniel Kerr Saturday.
“I just remember waking up, opened up the door, checking to see what’s out there and the whole living room was on fire, so I had to close the door," said Kerr. Waking up to a house engulfed in flames, Baker County Corrections Officer Daniel Kerr had to think fast.“Just seeing your son laying there unresponsive, you know, it’s very heart wrenching," said Kerr's father, Danny Kerr.He said doctors told him he could be on a ventilator for several weeks, if not months.“I looked at her and I’m like, ‘When are they going to take me off this ventilator? Because I’m breathing on my own.’ She’s like, ‘No you’re not.
“Really helped me through a lot of mental and going to the hospital," said Kerr."Everyone’s been right behind me and had my back.” Kerr still has a recurring cough from the smoke inhalation and he's going through physical therapy to regain full use of his hands.Residents say better cell coverage would prevent tragedies in rural Baker County
