East Mountian Resident injured fighting wild fire
Hello my name is Chantay and I hoping to help my Dad. He was injured while fighting a very serious and bad wildfire on Paradise Meadows loop in Edgewood NM. Him and one other Nieghbor Janet had put 4 hoses together so my Father could get out to the fire coming at their houses. My Father was able to stop the fire coming towards their homes and contain it till the Edgewood firefighters could get there and get set up. It was a very bad situation and a very bad fire due to high winds. 2 structures were damaged during this fire. Dad was wearing his cowboy boots and while out there fighting hotspots and they melted and Dad ended up burning his feet with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his toes and feet. My Father helped save potential animals, homes and people from this fire. I would like the community come to his rescue as he is going to be unable to work for the next 30 days and possibly longer according to his Dr. Dad works for East Mountain Pumping and Septic and it’s a very laborious job. He will need help with his medical bills as he has no insurance thru his work, and for food and to continue to pay his bills. Thank you so much and may God bless this community here in the East mountains.
