Support Renzo Reginato's Road to Recovery

Hi everyone, my name is Morgan Reginato and I'm starting this Go Fund Me on behalf of my brother-in-law, Renzo Reginato, and our family. I've watched them go through an incredibly difficult time and I want to do everything I can to help ease some of the financial stress they're facing.

On Friday, July 18th, 2025, at approximately 2 PM, El Cariso Hotshot Renzo Reginato's life changed forever while fighting the Orleans Complex Fire in Northern California. During operations, a tree unexpectedly fell, striking Renzo and two of his crewmates. The incident left Renzo with severe injuries, including a broken tibia and fibula, and a life changing traumatic spinal injury.

He was airlifted to Mercy Medical Center in Redding, CA, where he underwent emergency orthopedic and neurosurgical procedures. Renzo now faces a long and difficult road to recovery, supported closely by his fiancée and family. He will remain in Redding until he is stable enough to be transferred to Craig Hospital in Denver, CO — a nationally recognized neurorehabilitation center.

While Renzo’s medical treatment is covered, the family is now navigating significant additional expenses: long-term travel, temporary relocation, lodging, meals, and critical resources to help Renzo regain independence and adjust to a new way of life.

Renzo has dedicated himself to the grueling and selfless work of firefighting. He trained, sacrificed, and showed up every day to protect lives and communities. Now he needs our support.

Please consider donating to help Renzo and his loved ones as they face this life-altering journey together. Your generosity will go toward his continued care, recovery, and the support systems needed to rebuild his future.

"We were cutting line and without warning, I heard someone yell, ‘TREE!’ and before I could react, I was hit in the back and rolled 5 to 10 feet downhill.”

With gratitude for your support and prayers.
