CBCF Spotlight: Chris Brigham
I began my career in Southern California, where I was born and raised, working for the San Manuel Fire Department (Highland,CA) over the span of 3 years. I moved Eastward and was hired by the New Haven Fire Department in 2011 as a Firefighter Paramedic. For the last two years I have worked in the rank of Battalion Chief, assigned in the East Battalion.
I have been a camp counselor for over 8 years at the Arthur C. Luf Children’s Burn Camp and have been involved with volunteering for the camp for over 10. Additionally, I serve on the Human Resources team for the camp to assist in identifying and on-boarding volunteers who share the same passion I have in assisting burn survivors. be a very small part of it all.

‘I’ve never seen anybody like me’:
Childhood burn survivors embrace their scars at summer camp
The little girl stands in a clearing in the woods, her chin tucked to her chest, her gaze cast down on the sun-dappled forest floor. Beside her, her camp counselor leans close to see her face, searching for the words to ease the child’s fear.
The girl is named Nevaeh, heaven spelled backwards. This is her third day at summer camp. Here on the ropes course this flawless July morning, she watches as one by one, the other four campers in her group all brave the “swing shot.” Each is pulled high into the trees by a line clipped to her back, then soars forward in a wide arc across the clearing. Now her turn has come, and Nevaeh is paralyzed, unable to move or even meet her counselor’s eyes.
