Our hearts go out to firefighter Daniel Lyon and the families of three firefighters who died near Twisp on Wednesday. Tom Zbyszewski, 20; Andrew Zajac, 26; and Richard Wheeler, 31, selflessly charged into harm’s way and weren’t able to make it back to safety.
Daniel, suffering from third degree burns over 60 percent of his body, is fighting for his life at Harborview Medical Center.
While we can’t help everyone everywhere, we can help someone somewhere. Now that we know who these brave men are, it’s time to rise up and support the loved ones they leave behind.
Please DONATE to our GoFundMe page.
These donations will go to the families of Daniel, Tom, Andrew, and Richard. We’ll also make sure the families of the injured firefighters get our help.
The memorial service will be Sunday in Wenatchee. Officials say the service will begin at 1 p.m. at the Toyota Center.
