Idaho firefighter in Harborview burn unit
Friday, May 19, 2023
A Firefighter started to attack the fire when the wind shifted unexpectedly, causing the fire to “burn over” him and partially over his fire apparatus.
Firefighter Jim Ralstin was rushed from the scene to meet with the Lewiston Paramedics who transported him to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Lewiston with burns to 65% of his body.
He was later flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle due to the severity of his wounds where he is currently being treated.

Our hearts go out to those who keep the rest of us safe - by risking their own lives. Best wishes that Firefighter Ralston comes through what must be a very painful recovery.
