An off-duty Gadsden fire lieutenant was critically injured when he was struck in the head by a falling tree on Mother’s Day.

Lt. Justin Campbell, 42, was cutting a tree at his Gallant home Sunday when the tree fell on him.

According to a GoFundMe set up for Campbell, one of his children ran to check on him and found him on the ground. The child went to get his mother, who immediately began CPR.

Firefighters and medics responded and were able to regain a pulse and restore Campbell’s breath.

Campbell was rushed to UAB Hospital where he remained Monday in the Neurological Intensive Care Unit.

Gadsden Fire Chief Vance Brown said he spoke with Campbell’s wife Monday afternoon and she told him Campbell is now conscious and alert. He has movement in all of his extremities, but did sustain fractures to his face.

“The prognosis is good,” Brown said. “They’re expecting a full recovery.”

“Right now, we’re praying for him and his family,” he said. “It absolutely could have been worse.”

A GoFundMe has been set up to help the family.

“Justin is a loving husband and father,” according to the fundraiser. “He has always been there for others, responding to emergencies, saving lives and protecting his community.

“Now it’s our turn to be there for him,” the organizer said. “The Campbell family has a long road ahead.”

Brown said Campbell is a great firefighter and he’s looking forward to having him back at work once he is recovered.

“He’s a role model and a mentor,” Brown said. “He exemplifies what we should all strive to be.”
