A volunteer firefighter for the Iowa Tribe was critically injured while responding to a blaze in Oklahoma last week.

David Milby, 60, remains in critical condition after suffering second- and third-degree burns over 26 percent of his body. "He is a knowledgeable firefighter, that is why it is a little unsettling," Lt. Gene Big Soldier of the tribe's fire department told The Oklahoman.

Milby is the training officer for the volunteer department. The tribe is asking people to pray for his recovery.
