STOCKTON, Calif. — Stockton firefighters risk their lives to protect the city. It’s this dedication to their work that brings them together. The same kind of energy that’s also helping them help one of their own.
“This is no different to us. This is hitting home with somebody close to us,” Battalion Chief Rick Stubstad told FOX40 on Friday.
Stubstad said they’ve been raising funds through GoFundMe for firefighter Dave McLaughlin whose wife was recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. McLaughlin has been on leave, taking his wife Gina to her chemotherapy appointments. She has stage 4 adinocarcinoma, and doctors believe her cancer is incurable.
