HALLANDALE BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - A Hallandale Beach firefighter is showing signs of improvement, nearly two weeks after he collapsed at his fire station.

Images of Erik Conde show him sitting up in his hospital bed over the weekend.

Although he is still listed in critical condition at Aventura Hospital, sources said he is now breathing on his own.

On Dec. 28, Conde was at the end of his shift when he suddenly went into cardiac arrest.

He still faces a long road to recovery, but he is slowly getting better.
