## Resource

A Pueblo firefighter, who worked an extra day beyond his 48-hour shift to battle the Aspen Acres Fire, returned home to find his own house destroyed. Despite valiant efforts to save it—clearing brush and digging a fire break with his tractor—he was powerless against the blaze’s fury. His story, shared by union rep Tim Trujillo, highlights the crushing emotional toll: firefighters usually go home to normalcy, not wreckage. Now, facing years of recovery, he’s rebuilding his life piece by piece, supported by a union fund and community help, while still serving his city.
