Latest Update from the Family of Injured Firefighter Justin Shaw

KAMIAH, Idaho: August 13, 2025 – Almost exactly 1 year ago, on Saturday, August 10th, 2024, U.S. Forest Service
firefighter Justin Shaw was struck by a tree during initial attack operations on the Coffee Can Saddle fire on the Salmon
River Ranger District. Justin has been on a long road to recovery ever since the day of this incident. The following
updated information and words of gratitude have been provided by Justin’s parents, Joe and Dawn Shaw:
“We have been away from home almost a full year and miss our beloved Idaho. Our hope is to bring Justin home
sometime this fall. Justin would love to be back in Idaho where he can be closer to family and friends. We are currently
working on remodeling our tri-level home to make it safe for Justin. Justin still uses a wheelchair for mobility and the
small doorways make it impossible to navigate. Justin also could not safely use the stairs to get from living spaces to
bedroom and bathroom spaces. When the home modifications are complete in late fall our hope is to have an ADA
compliant Smart Home addition on the main level of our house. These modifications will make it so Justin can have both
safety and privacy. When Justin gets to Boise, he will continue therapies for as long as he needs them in outpatient
rehab.”
“Justin's goal is ultimately to be independent; we will support him for as long it takes him to reach that goal. Part of that
support is to make necessary changes to our home. This has been a difficult journey and will be a marathon of recovery.
Our lives changed drastically a year ago and we are navigating through this recovery process as best we can. We are
thankful he is recovering a little bit every day. If you feel like helping with remodel costs, there is a givesendgo building
fund titled Stand by Justin - Build Independence. A QR code link is included with this post.”

“Our family is very grateful for all the support we have received from organizations like the Wildland Firefighter
Foundation, JD Memorial Foundation and the Eric Marsh Foundation. We are also truly thankful for every person who
donated to this gofundme, sent prayers and cards to encourage Justin. Please continue to pray and send cards to the
address below. Your prayers and letters of encouragement help Justin feel connected to home.”
