Injured OklahomaWildland Firefighter Tanner Wilson
Donation protected
Tanner Wilson, Oklahoma Forestry Services firefighter from the Southeast Area was involved in an entrapment and subsequent burnover while responding to the Jack Creek Fire in Pushmataha County on Thursday, September 12.
He was utilizing a UTV in the steep rugged terrain scouting locations to build fire lines when the vehicle became disabled and his escape route was compromised as the fire behavior increased. The disabled UTV was abandoned and Tanner fled on foot, sustaining injuries from the advancing fire. He is receiving treatment for second and third degree burns at a trauma center.
A long recovery and rehabilitation is anticipated and funds will be used to assist Tanner and his family with his medical related expenses while he is unable to work. Any and all donations are appreciated.
