The Central Fire District responded with firefighter/EMT’s to this medical emergency and would now like to volunteer additional time and resources to help the Sullenger family. Preslee is currently listed in critical condition at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. All proceeds from the hamburger and chili-dog benefit will be donated to the Sullenger family to help cover medical expenses.
