Union brother and volunteer firefighter Chris Brick (Local 316, Clinton, Iowa) was responding to an emergency call when he was ejected from his side-by-side, resulting in severe injuries to his face and head that have left him hospitalized.
Currently intubated in the ICU at the University of Iowa Hospital, Brick is stable, awake, and using a pen and paper to communicate with those around him. His jaw needs to be wired shut, and he is expected to undergo several surgeries to address his injuries.
With Christmas just two weeks away and the exact length of his hospitalization unknown due to his injuries, Brother Brick’s family needs our help until he can return to work.
