June 24, 2016
Local residents are coming to the aid of a Molino firefighter seriously injured when the driver of a pickup truck pulled into the path of his motorcycle Wednesday afternoon.
Feliciano Santana, known to friends as “Zapp”, is alive today because of his helmet and first responders who are also dear friends, according to family members. For 11 years, Santana has served area as a volunteer firefighter, currently as captain of the Molino Volunteer Fire Department.
He has a shattered knee and a broken neck and is facing many surgeries. In addition to the hardship created by medical bills, he is also expected to be out of work for many months to come as he recovers.

The person that pulled out infront of him should be paying for his Bill’s.. This is why YOU look before you turn… “”Watch out for motorcycles”" Quit trying to be in a hurry to go no-where and pay attention.
I have known Zapp for many many years. In addition to being a fireman, he also has been a baseball coach at Don Sutton Ballpark for many years. He has given alot to this community and I would love to see everyone who can, give a little back in his time of need.
Zapp has a son as well, so he is really going to need help from us now.
If you can, please donate something to the GoFund me account that has been set up for him, even if it’s only $5-it will still help. He has always been there to help Molino/Cantonment residents (whether at the fire dept or ballpark) so lets please pull together and do what we can to help him now. No amount is too small.
Thank you everyone!
Zapp, I will be praying for you. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you in any way!
