Trial by Fire: Lives Re-Forged

IMAGINE WAKING UP IN THE HOSPITAL BANDAGED FROM
HEAD TO TOE AND DISCOVERING THAT YOUR
LIFE HAD BEEN DESTROYED.

Trial by Fire: Lives Re-Forged explores the lives of ordinary people who face extraordinary challenges after being burned by fire. Beyond the painful medical and physical recovery, they emerged from the experience, not as victims, but as survivors reclaiming first their lives and then their dreams.

Fire is unforgiving and can strike anyone at anytime. A million Americans are burned every year at home, school and in the workplace. “TRIAL BY FIRE: Lives Re-Forged” features a diverse group of people from all walks of life: a firefighter injured in the line of duty, a teenage athlete who defied all odds, a racecar driver who escaped a flaming wreck, an industrial worker caught in an explosion, a family united by tragedy and an honors student who refused to be defined by her scars.

Continue the journey here. Join the group and tell us your story.

My name is James Pointer and I am the Asst. Chief of Emergency Medical Services for the Aviation Volunteer Fire Department in Bronx, NY. The organization has been around since 1923 and took a dive for the bad in 2005 when the old Chief closed the department and sold all of the vehicles and equipment and ran off with $1.8 Million dollars. The department was reopened in 2008 by some of the old members who didn't want to see the department close down for good. Now the department has a rescue…
