San Jose: CAL FIRE Firefighter in need of help after family members slain #CaFire #CALFIRE

 On May 15, 2013 the family of CAL FIRE Firefighter, Luis Herrera-Martinez, was stricken with a great tragedy. His mother-in-law Yolanda Ramirez and 1-year old nephew, Gabriel Ramirez, were found dead, and his 3 year old daughter, Joclyn Herrea, sustained serious injuries during a vicious knife attack in the Alum Rock area of San Jose.

While Joclyn continues down the road to recovery, Firefighter Herrera-Martinez and his family are faced with increasing financial expenses including significant medical expenses and the impending cost of two (2) funerals.

“In lieu of flowers we are asking family and friends to make donations to the Fire Family Foundation a 501 (3) (c) “In loving memory of Yolanda and Gabriel Ramirez”.

 The funds collected will be used to assist with medical expenses and the cost of the funerals that will need to be coordinated to lay their loved ones to rest.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
