North Lyon County firefighters will be collecting money on the 4th of July to help the sister of one of their own battling breast cancer,

Firefighter Josh Chandler, a proud member of North Lyon Fire and a dedicated resident of Fernley, is facing one of the toughest battles—not on the fire line, but alongside his sister, Brandy. Since 2021, Brandy has been courageously fighting breast cancer. 

Through every round of chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, and ongoing treatments, her strength and resilience have never wavered. But as many know, the emotional and financial toll of cancer is overwhelming. Now, their family needs us—their extended community.

Brandy’s journey has stretched her family’s resources thin. Every donation, no matter the size, goes directly toward medical expenses, travel for treatments, and giving this family some relief in the middle of the storm. 

Firefighter Chandler shows up for our community every single day. Let’s show up for his.  You can donate on the 4th of July by stuffing the boot in Fernley or donate at https://gofund.me/24c0e322 Please share to help spread the word. #SupportBrandy #FernleyStrong #NorthLyonFire #FireFamily #BreastCancerAwareness #CommunityStrong #LocalHeroes Professional Fire Fighters of Nevada

HagenComment text: Maybe there is more to this story than what is reported, but it seems to me that the businesses that are causing this problem ought to be paying for this, or at least a major portion of it. Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.Comment publication date: 5/7/26, 10:26 AMComment source: Storey County, Tesla partner to extend I-80 Patrick on-rampComment author: Alan ReederComment text: Great guy, laughed easily, had fun with his students, enjoyed our time together at FHS!Comment publication date: 4/23/26, 10:23 PMComment source: Howard David JacksonComment author: Jack & Nancy CookComment text: Wonderful man.
