A GoFundMe account and the "Brett Read Burn Recovery Fund" at North Cascades Bank have been set up for Brett Read, the 38 year old volunteer with Okanogan County Fire District #8 who was injured Saturday while fighting the Grass Valley Fire near Grand Coulee.

Read is being treated for burns to his face and upper body at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. He is in satisfactory condition in the burn unit.

Read's GoFundMe Page says doctors report Read suffered burns to 11.7% of his body. The burns to his face and hands are significant and may require surgery.
