Fischer's Accident is a story about overcoming adversity. Fischer is a firefighter and has an accident at work that changes his life forever. His leg gets amputated. He has a choice to make. He can quit being a firefighter or he can work really hard and overcome the biggest challenge of his life. The author, Gary Weiland, is a firefighter in Texas. He is also a husband, a father of 4, and an amputee. Gary was a firefighter for 7 years when he experienced a series of very unfortunate events. His leg was amputated just below his knee. Gary decided that this tragedy was not going to end his career and passion for fighting fire. 10 months and 6 days after his amputation, he was back on the fire truck, full-duty, no restrictions. Gary's faith, family, and fortitude were the driving factors in getting back to being a firefighter. Now he is on a mission to show the world that no matter what happens to you, you can Adapt and Overcome! Since his amputation, Gary has been honored with the ServPro First Responder of the Year Award as well as the Chief's Distinction Award given to him by his Fire Chief.
