In 2021, Montana firefighter Dan Steffensen faced a wall of fire moving at sixty miles per hour. The flames engulfed him, burning over 60% of his body. Many believed his story would end tragically, but against all odds, Dan not only survived but triumphed, showcasing the indomitable resilience of the human spirit.
Burned Over! is the captivating tale of Dan’s harrowing ordeal and his inspiring journey back to the frontlines of firefighting. Penned by acclaimed author A.J. Otjen, this compelling narrative takes readers through the heart-stopping moments of Dan's brush with death and the overwhelming support he received from the people around him.
Back on the firefighting roster and dedicating his time to supporting fellow burn survivors, Dan’s story is one of unwavering perseverance and the pursuit of one’s true calling. His story serves as a reminder that even in the face of unimaginable adversity, there is always strength to be found within ourselves and the communities that surround us.
