Care Package Donations for Injured BFD Firefighters

Bryan firefighters Ricky Mantey and Mitch Moran’s conditions continue to improve at UTMB hospital in Galveston. While they have made major improvements, they still have a long road to recovery ahead of them.

A local group is keeping up with their progress and collecting donations for care packages for the men. Fellow fireman Andrew Jarrett is helping coordinate the efforts. He was on First News at Four Friday to talk about the type of donations they're accepting. The entire interview is attached.

Donations can be mailed to

Or you can drop your donation off at College Station Fire Department
Station #6
