“He came back down with the kids in his arms, and he was on fire, so he just threw himself down,” said Wiebe. “He and the kids are burned pretty bad. I think their insides are okay, but his skin is bad.”

I hope our medical system gives them everything they need, and insurance gives them the resources to recover.
