If the Aunt didn't have a background of having seizures, this might be an ongoing problem for her, unfortunately, but hopefully, she will be given medication to prevent a reoccurrence.

I hope so as well since I am sure Jacob's aunt will find medicines for her seizures.

You are right that Jacob did apply what he learned in school from the firefighter training paid off.
