Winchester Firefighter Fights Brain Tumor, Community Rallies in Support

Winchester’s Brave Firefighter Battles Brain Tumor

In a gripping tale of peril, heroism, and resilience, Logan Crigler, a well-known firefighter from Winchester, is awaiting the results of a 12-hour brain surgery.

Firefighter Crigler’s Journey

Over the past weeks, Crigler developed health complications, including blurred vision, dizziness, nausea, and significant weight loss. On May 29th during a routine training session, he experienced a dizzy spell. His condition did not improve, prompting his colleagues at the fire department to send him for medical evaluation. This led to the discovery of a 1 1/2 inch brain tumor.

Fire Chief Whitely shared, “At this time, he does have some blurred vision, he has some nauseousness, he has some dizziness. He’s lost a tremendous amount of weight, and we just want to bring awareness to his story.”
