Folsom firefighter seriously injured in crash [Video]

Cameron Breaux is known for serving his family as a father and husband and his community as a Folsom firefighter. His fireman brotherhood asked the community to show kindness as he had done for Folsom. “He bleeds the job,” said his friend, Adam Shields. “There’s nothing else he’d rather want to do.”Cameron Breaux was injured in a one-car crash on October 1st. He’s now in rehab recovering from severe injuries to his hip, sternum, and liver. “His wife is 27 weeks pregnant, and he has a 3-year-old daughter,” Shields said. “So with them being out of work and him being the sole provider, he’s definitely gonna need some help to get through that. This long road.”That’s why Adam and a few other people have organized fundraisers to help Breaux pay for medical and other expenses on his journey to recovery.Shields said it’s time for help to come around full circle for Breaux. “He’ll drop what he’s doing to help anybody in need,” Shields said. “You know, whether it being from home and he responds to calls or coming to the station and if we’re doing something, he lands a hand. There’s not really not a time that I’ve ever had camera tell me that he doesn’t want to help.”Aaron Thomas has known Breaux for 8 years.They’ve run into burning buildings, put out fires, and saved lives together. He says times like these are when his brotherhood matters most. “Any one of us goes down or has an issue with something,” Thomas said, “We’re all there for each other. We have to be. I mean that’s who you put your trust in.”One fundraising effort is already more than 50 percent from reaching its goal with another in the works. Thomas said Breaux would be the first to lend a helping hand if his community needed him like he’s depending on them now. “He would he would be there for them,” Thomas said. “It’s huge for the community to come out and try to save some support. And just so show that people are thinking of him, they understand what went on, and they’re just here for support.” See St. Tammany Fire Protection District 5 social media page here for updates on how to help the Breaux family.
