IVA, S.C. (WSPA) -- Firefighters are asking for prayers for Chief Curt Brickle with the Iva Fire Department, after he was hit by a car while working Monday morning.

Chief Brickle was airlifted to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Brickle's wife, Jennifer, posted an update on her husband's condition Monday evening.

"They fixed a bleed in his chest near his ribs," she wrote. "Next they will do X-rays on his arms and legs to check for broken bones."

Jennifer said a procedure will be done Tuesday to put plates in and stabilize Brickle's rib fractures. She said that while her husband is in stable condition, he is in a lot of pain.

"Please pray for relief through the night and a successful procedure tomorrow," she said. "He is the strongest man I know and I know God has him in His hands.
