After his horrendous injuries in a fire back in April, he has been cleared to return to work. Isn't that great news? Chuck had 2nd and 3rd degree burns over 40 percent of his body; if you've ever even gotten burned on a match, you know that hurts. I can't imagine the pain and suffering he's been through this year. But if anyone could make a comeback from that type of injury, I just knew he would be the one to do it. <VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR></div>

<div style="RIGHT: auto">Having known Chuck for many years, I can tell you that he's not only a world-class firefighter, but a world-class human being; welcome back to your First-Due, Chief!!</div></div></body></html>
