The Dunlap Fire Department is asking for prayers and support as their long time Fire Chaplain Kevin Benoit recovers from an illness.

He became very ill Friday morning and had to be hospitalized, according to posts from the department and Benoit's wife.

"Kevin is a very important part of our Brotherhood as he has watched over us and prayed for us for many years," the department said. "Let us pray for him and his family."

Doctors told his family that he is now stable, and it seems he had sepsis. They put him on dialysis and conducted surgery on him.

"Everyone's prayers are so appreciated," Stacey Benoit said. "Your phone calls, texts, and praying for us over the phone have touched us so much."
