Water Rescue

We responded two water rescue teams to New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina. The first left the day that the levies broke and the second left on the following Sunday. Ruston Fire Department personnel working in conjunction with LA Fish and Wildlife officers rescued approximately 1100 people from their homes.
