4/16/13 - A fundraiser is planned this evening for a 2012 Pinckney graduate who was severely injured in a bonfire accident last month. The Putnam Township Fire Department responded to the March 29th incident and arrived as Sarah Grundy was being transported via ambulance to the hospital with severe burns on the majority of her body. Fire Chief Greg Amburgey says Grundy was burned after gasoline was poured on the bonfire, causing it to explode. Sheâs expected to be hospitalized for at least the next few months. Amburgey tells WHMI the incident was a tragic accident that should serve as a reminder to exercise extreme caution and never use accelerants of any type on a fire. He says their prayers are with the family and a number of fundraisers have been organized in the community to assist with mounting medical bills. RJ's Grill on East M-36 will host an all-you-can-eat spaghetti fundraiser from 4 to 9pm and all proceeds go to the Grundy family. A donation fund has also been set up and checks can be made payable to "The Sarah Grundy Fund" and mailed to Lavey Insurance PO Box 17 Pinckney, MI 48169. (JM)
