NLFR firefighter suffers injuries while completing fire truck inspections
Franklin Floyd
On Monday, February 27, 2023, Franklin Floyd, a longtime North Lenoir Fire & Rescue member and current Board Member, experienced a fall from a fire truck at NLFR Station 3 while completing apparatus inspections. He was transported to the Emergency Room at UNC Health Lenoir in Kinston, NC and then airlifted to ECU Health Medical Center in Greenville, NC where he was diagnosed with an eardrum rupture, skull fracture, and subarachnoid hemorrhage (brain bleed).
Franklin is currently in ICU at ECU Health Medical Center receiving treatment for his injuries. Many of you have reached out to ask how you can make financial contributions to the family as they deal with treatment and recovery, the burden of travel back and forth to the hospital, money for food, and other things while Franklin is out of work. All donations will go directly to the Floyd family to assist them during their time of need and your contributions are greatly appreciated.
Please continue to keep the Floyd family in your thoughts and prayers!
