Chris and his family have suffered a house fire this Thanksgiving morning. A fire started in their home which resulted in a total loss of their belongings. He and his four children were rushed to the hospital. His children have been monitored for smoke inhalation and doctors say they are going to be okay. Chris suffered 3rd degree burns to his face and chest while getting everyone to safety and attempting to put out the fire. He has been transported to Nashville and is currently intubated and ventilated. They estimate over 50% of his body has been burned or damaged. They plan to start grafting soon and say he will be intubated for at least another week.

He and his family had just settled into their new home only a few days prior to the fire. Chris had worked for months to get everything settled and his family moved in to their home.
