A firefighter in western Wisconsin was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer, and the community has helped raise over $14,000, and counting, to help cover medical expenses.
The Shell Lake Fire Department says that Captain Tucker McCumber was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer. He has been a member of the department for over ten years. During those ten years, he reportedly had multiple positions. A GoFundMe has been created for McCumber and it has already raised over $14,000. The fundraiser mentions that McCumber recently accepted a job in Washburn County, and because he recently switched jobs means he does not qualify for Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
