A fundraiser has been launched for Rinaldo and his fiancée, Lauren. As of Tuesday, Oct. 24, more than $73,000 has been raised. Rinaldo remains in a burn center while he recovers from the fire that killed one firefighter.

"Dillon is the most selfless individual anyone knows." Scott Greco, who organized the fundraiser, said. "He is always willing to help with anything, putting others before himself and carries a true passion for his job as a firefighter."

A prayer service for Rinaldo was held on Friday, Oct. 20 at the Church of Saint Anne. To view the fundraiser, click here.
