The Waterbury Fire Fighters have teamed up with the Fairfield Fire Fighters Charitable Foundation to host a beer fest to help the Moore Family.

The Moore family was involved in a car accident and one of the triplets, Avery, suffered a spinal cord injury.

Avery is on the road to recovery and has a long road ahead of him.

We are hoping to raise enough money to help defray some of the medical costs that they have faced.

Avery's father Tom, is a Captain in the Naugatuck Fire Department and President of Naugatuck Fire Fighters Local 1219 and his Mother Becky is a teacher in the Naugatuck School system.

Here is a video of Avery at physical therapy
