Here's more detailed info from a post a Pinecam, and it explains the situation pretty well. As a volunteer, I'm assuming he doesn't get health insurance from the fire department. But he may get some from another job. Not that it matters, there are still other expenses involved, and his wife had to leave her job to care for the family...

Dan Adams has been a Volunteer Firefighter with Indian Hills Fire Rescue for four years. Last year, at 33 years of age, Dan was diagnosed with Melanoma. Shortly thereafter, he underwent surgery and treatment for the cancer in the hope that it could be completely removed. Earlier this year Dan’s cancer returned and in May he was hospitalized and diagnosed with Stage Four Metastatic Melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer. Since then, Dan has been hospitalized several times and continues to receive treatment. Unfortunately, due to his condition, Dan has not been able to return to work. His wife Randi has also had to stop working to care for Dan and their four children ranging in age from five to 13. Subsequently, Dan’s treatments and their inability to work have imposed a severe financial burden on this young family. Dan’s attitude and spirits have remained high during this time of personal and physical crisis, although he misses his activities with the Fire Department and the community is missing a valuable emergency responder. Please help us by supporting this dedicated firefighter who has given much to our community and its citizens.

What a great dinner our family had this evening. The grandkids got to see lots of really cool fire trucks, both old and new. So many fire districts there. Evergreen, InterCanyon, Elk Creek and Indian Hills.

I so wish I had seen this earlier. I would have gone for sure. I hope it went well and they raised lots of money for him.

There are so many things going on up here that I lose track and forget to check the events each day. It will be great if each days events pop up on the front page of here. I think that is in your plans for the new web page. It will help a lot. I really wish I wouldn't have missed this one. I sat home doing nothing.
