A lad on my watch lies in hospital at Withington with 50% burns. It's quite likely he won't ever return to his job. Why? Because he was doing the job he loved. Because a family in Great Lever needed him to take a risk to try to save their lives. A risk he was willing to take but which ultimately landed him in that hospital bed. His improvement is slow although the skin grafts are taking.
As a result of the fire he will lose all eight fingers and both thumbs. I think you'll agree that's a shit deal for a lad who's intention that night was to save the lives of four strangers!
His road to recovery will be a long and painful one and I'm not sure I'm allowed to post this here but as a watch we're trying to raise as much money as possible to assist in his recouperation.
There will be an openday at Bolton Cenral Fire Station this Saturday. It will be in aid of Steve's recovery. If you could call in and see what it is we do It'd be appreciated.
