(KAIR)--A fundraiser has been established for a Doniphan County firefighter who suffered serious injuries, leading to hospitalization, during a battle with a late October field fire.

Injured was volunteer firefighter Alan Boeh, the Assistant Fire Chief for the Troy Fire Department. Suffering 2nd and 3rd degree burns in the October 29 blaze, near Denton, Boeh, at last check, remained hospitalized in Kansas City.

Now, the Troy Fire Department has established "an account to accept donations to assist [Boeh] and his family through his recovery process."

The account comes after the department says many members of the community, as well as neighboring fire departments, reached out, asking for a way to offer assistance.

The donations may be made to: Account for the Benefit of Alan Boeh, c/o First Option Bank, 212 Main Street, Troy, Kansas, 66087. Donations can also be sent through Venmo to the address, Alan-Boeh-Benefit.

According to Doniphan County Emergency Management Coordinator Julie Meng, addressing the County Commission this week, the fire began on the west end of the county, north of Denton, then traveled over two miles to the Severance area, with all rural county fire districts responding, with assistance provided by Brown County fire departments and approximately 20 farmers and their equipment.
