Description
During Hurricane Katrina and the ensuing aftermath of floods due to failed levees, St. Bernard Parish suffered one of the most worst damage. The rescue of over 6,000 stranded, injured, and defenseless residents proved dangerous, traumatic, and lonely for the parish fire department. Firemen would quickly learn their roles were diverse and demanding, and they’d find little assist from outdoor sources. Acting as EMTs, rescue and recovery, mechanics, social workers, and providers for parish residents, they needed to ignore their very own losses and heartaches for days so as to save as many lives as they may, by myself.
