SB Firefighter Returns to Work After Kidney Transplant

In August 2008, Santa Barbara City Fire Captain and Local 525 member Heidi Rockenbach was hit with the news that for an unknown reason her kidneys were failing, and that she would need a kidney transplant to continue her career as a firefighter. This week, Rockenbach is back working on the fire engine, thanks to a kidney donation from a former classmate.
