Hello all, my best friend was recently invovled in a tragic accident. Im asking for everybody to please pray for him and his family. His name is Brandon, he is 26, husband, father of 3 and a professional firefighter with the Houston Fire Dept, Houston, TX St. 18. He was recently fighting a routine house fire when there was a structural roof collapse. The collapse knocked the regulator off his facepeice (the hose attached to the mask that allows him to breath inside a superheated smokey atmosphere) He was knocked unconcious and seperated from his crew and trapped. They sent in a rescue team, but found him unconciuos and not breathing. They were able to revive him enroute to the trauma center. He suffered severe burns to his upper and lower airway and his lungs as well as severe smoke inhalation. He has been is the medical intensive care unit, intubated, on a ventilator, for two weeks. Although he is showing some improvments, his wife and I and his family believe it is because of his strong will to live and peoples prayers. He has served in one of the busiest districts in one of the largest cities in the United States, as a Firefighter/Paramedic for 5 years, lets help him and show him some support. I know money is tight for alot of people, but if anyone wishes to donate anything to his family, a link to an account has been set up for him to help with the ungodly amount of expenses at www.local341.org His name is Brandon Everette. Media coverage can be read at http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5501650.html and at http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/metro/5507460.html for those intrested. Thanks guys!
