Montgomery firefighters joined the daughter of critically injured firefighter Deandre Hartman as she received an award at school.

Montgomery firefighters showed the daughter of a seriously burned colleague that the department is an extension of her family when she received an award this week.

Deandre Hartman - one of five firefighters injured at a fatal house fire - is still in intensive care after suffering burns to his eyes, lungs and arms.

When Hartman's daughter,  Dynasti, received an academic award at school Monday, other firefighters showed up to support here, according to WSFA.com.

“We feel the love from each and every one of them, so we are glad that they are here to support him by supporting his daughter,” Dynasti's mom said.

“We, as the brotherhood of the fire department, you know, we stick together,”  Chief of Special Operations, Sam Castanza told the television station. “We are here from the beginning to the end.”
