WTF. Why isn't the Fire Dept. picking up his medical bills?

Firefighter hurt on the job returns home, gets hero's welcome

It was a hero's homecoming Wednesday for a southwest suburban firefighter critically hurt on the job just after Christmas.

For Lieutenant Clint Sanders and his family, it was an emotional homecoming.

“This is so overwhelming...we can't believe it. But he's home and that's all that matters,” said wife Sheila Sanders.

Clint Sanders just got out of the Loyola Medical Center burn unit. He was critically injured doing his job for the Roberts Park Fire Protection District.

Investigators are still trying to figure out how a small fire in a house in Justice two weeks ago quickly escalated and overtook him.

Clint suffered burns on his hands and face, plus smoke inhalation.

There's still a long recovery ahead. Clint’s wife has quit her job as a nurse to take care of him.

So, his firefighter family has stepped up to help pay the bills. A GoFundMe page they started has raised more than $50k.

The firefighters say knowing that the person next to them has their back, it keeps them going.

The Roberts Park Fire Protection District is also taking donations at its station for the family.

This blog is about

This blog is non-monetized and uses photos and materials from other sources. It is in compliance with Fair Use Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Code. Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
