Brothers & Sisters,
Last night, Snohomish County's Cary Cronin (Engine co. 74), a fellow Puget Sound FOOL, was racing his motorcycle at Pacific Raceways near Kent when his bike left the track at a high rate of speed. Cronin was thrown from his bike and suffered multiple fractures and was in and out of consciousness. He was intubated, stabilized, and airlifted to Harborview. Many of our Sno. 7 members and our Local is keeping us updated about every 20 minutes on his prognosis, and there is a large group already gathered there. Cary suffered fractures to his wrist, ankle, tib-fib, orbital, and has a small brain bleed that I have heard seems to be under control.
His parents are flying in from Detroit tomorrow to see him.
It sounds like so far that he is going make it, but is going to have an extremely rough road ahead of him.
Cronin is part of the Sno. 7 "Wolf Pack" and previously also worked at Central Kitsap Fire & Rescue before coming to Snohomish County.
So say a prayer or keep him in your thoughts FOOLS, he is one of all of ours.
We will keep you posted
