Derrick Byrd, 20, sustained second- and third-degree burns on his face, arms, and back after rushing back into a burning home to save his 8-year-old niece.

His face ended up relatively fine. That pic seems pretty soon after judging by the bandages, so I am guessing his face continued to improve afterwards.

Was hoping he had a social media account to see how he recovered/what he is up to today but alas couldn't find anything :P

Surprised there weren't any follow up articles with him and his niece either.
