Comedian and beloved "Bob's Burgers" star Eugene Mirman has shared a health update following a terrifying vehicle fire last week. The incident occurred when Mirman's car crashed and caught fire, leaving him trapped inside.

In a remarkable turn of events, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu and a member of her executive security team were among the first on the scene. They assisted in pulling Mirman from the burning vehicle before first responders arrived. Mirman expressed his profound gratitude to the Governor and all who helped, calling them "true heroes."

Mirman reported that he is now recovering at home after being treated at a local hospital. He sustained burns and other injuries but stated his condition is improving daily. He thanked fans for their outpouring of support and well-wishes during this frightening ordeal.

The actor, best known for voicing Gene Belcher on the long-running animated series, maintained his characteristic humor despite the circumstances. He joked that the event was a dramatic way to meet a state governor, while seriously acknowledging the life-saving actions of those involved. Production on "Bob's Burgers" is not expected to be affected by his recovery.
