Hi, My name is Ryan Burke and I am fundraising for Bryan Bradley. Bryan is a firefighter with the City of Richmond Fire Department. On August 15th Bryan responded to a house fire with multiple reports of people being trapped. Bryan, doing what he was trained to do, immediately entered the burning home and started a search. While searching, Bryan recieved severe burns to both his hands. Bryan was wearing all of his equipment and despite doing all of the right things, the heat was too much for his equipment. He is currently in the Burn Unit at VCU Medical Center. He is expected to be there for the next week or so, but full recovery is expected to be much much longer.

As with any injury and time off of work, there will always be unexpected expenses that insurance and workers compensation will not cover. The money raised here will go directly toward helping Bryan, his wife Mandy, with any expenses that occur during his recovery.

Bryan, based on his actions that day, represent exactly what a firefighter is. He risked everything to give others a chance. We are hoping to be able to give back to him.
