The Sister Bay Liberty Grove Fire Department announced this weekend that Fire Chief Chris Hecht was out-of-state this last week when he suffered a critical medical emergency, and now a Go-Fund-Me account has been set up to assist his family through this ongoing situation. On April 11th, Fire Chief Hecht was attending a fire department instructor’s conference in Indiana, when he was rushed by ambulance to a hospital in Indianapolis with a ruptured brain aneurysm and went immediately into surgery. Last week Wednesday, Hecht underwent a 2nd surgery and is still in critical condition with a prognosis of “guarded.”
The Hecht family is now experiencing unexpected travel expenses and the medical expenses are accumulating as well. The Go-Fund-Me account has been established with coordination through the Hecht family, and you can access this account for donation at https://www.gofundme.com/f/standing-strong-for-fire-chief-chris-hecht. Fire Chief Hecht began serving the northern Door County community as an EMT in the late 1980’s. He became a firefighter for Sister Bay Liberty Grove in 1992 and became the fire chief in 2001. Please consider helping the Hecht family through this difficult time with a Go-Fund-Me offering, just as Fire Chief Hecht and his family have given so much to the community over the decades.
