Memorandum
St. Petersburg Fire & Rescue
Station #7
TO: All Fire Personnel
FROM: Captain Rosetti
DATE: April 25, 2009
SUBJECT: Christine Burroughs Status
On April 5, Christine was driving home from Alabama with her son. South of Ocala near 75 and the Florida turnpike around dusk, she was involved in a serious crash. A semi wheel and tire were in the roadway and she missed it with her front wheels but her right rear hit the tire and flipped her vehicle into a retention pond full of water. Both Christine and her son were seat belted in and able to get out of the truck. Passerby’s help stabilize Christine until help arrived. Both were flown to Orlando Regional Hospital for further care.
Christine’s son was cut and bruised but otherwise was ok. Christine did not fare as well. She fractured C4 & C7 which will heal on there own with time. She fractured two ribs. She also broke T3, T4, & T5, which she had surgery on Monday the 13th, and they fused them together at that time.
She is currently at Morton Plant Rehab in Clearwater and is not accepting visitors at this time. Please keep her and her son in your thoughts and prayers.

| Chief Greenway Update |
|
|
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Retired Fire Chief Zelmar C. Greenway.
Rescue 9-A responded to his bedside at the Arbor Oaks Nursing Home on Saturday, January 17, 2009, at 08:48 a.m. and found Chief Greenway in cardiac arrest. He was transported to St. Petersburg General Hospital where he was admitted to the ICU in critical condition. On Monday, at approximately 11:00 a.m., Chief Greenway's family made the tough decision to take him off Life Support after the results of CAT scans and MRI's of the brain. A short time later Chief Greenway passed away with his family at his bedside.
Most of our personnel never had the opportunity to work with Chief Greenway, he began his employment with St. Petersburg Fire Department on February 16, 1946, promoted to Fire Chief in 1962 and retired on January 1,1981 as the Fire Chief. Chief Greenway is the uncle to Firefighter / Paramedic Frank Thomas of Station 12-C and also grandfather to Lt. Matt Brown of the Lakeland Fire Department.
Funeral arrangements are as follows:
On Thursday, January 22, the viewing will be from 1 - 2 pm at R. Lee Williams Funeral Home (3530 49 Street North) with a service following at 2 pm. The service will conclude at the graveside in Memorial Gardens.
Please keep the Greenway family in your thoughts and prayers as they grieve the loss of a loved one.
