Tysdal to begin outpatient care next week

Coeur d'Alene fire engineer Dave Tysdal is set to leave the hospital next week as he progresses into outpatient care, the Coeur d'Alene Fire Department shared Saturday. 

"The family will continue to live in Colorado, for now, where he can keep working on his rehabilitation," CDAFD said in a social media post. 

Tysdal has been recovering at a specialty rehab facility since July after he was shot during the June 29 shooting on Canfield Mountain, resulting in serious bodily injuries. 

Construction crews are also working to modify the Tysdal home for wheelchair accessibility, as Tysdal has not yet regained the function of his legs. 

"They are still hopeful for a miracle," CDAFD said. 

CDAFD also invites the public to send Tysdal and his family well wishes. Mail should be addressed to the fire department administration office at 300 E. Foster Ave., Coeur d'Alene.
