Survivor Story: Mike Feyh

“We received some of the best burn care available which has allowed all of us to return to full duty with the Fire Department”


Burn survivor Mike Feyh with fellow firefighters

“In July of 2010, while responding to a reported natural gas leak in Oak Park with my fellow Firefighters from Station 6, three other Firefighters and I sustained 2nd and 3rd degree burns from an explosion that occurred during our investigation.

The Firefighters Burn Institute was there to support us as well as our families as soon as we were admitted to UC Davis Medical Center, during our hospitalization, and through our follow up treatment.

Because of the direct support of the Firefighters Burn Institute, as well as the indirect support they provide to UC Davis Medical Center, we received some of the best burn care available which has allowed all of us to return to full duty with the Fire Department.

On behalf of myself and my family I would like to thank the FFBI for all the hard work that you do.”
