Stunning documentation of a devastating 4-alarm fire that made almost 200 homeless last night. Click through to see conditions the sickeningly depleted ranks of New Orleans firefighters face after a year of increasingly frequent, larger, deadly fires. Firefighters started 2020 warning of these deficiencies in the starkest possible terms. Fire officials and City Hall told you we were lying. We will have much more on this soon. For now, please keep your fellow New Orleanians in your thoughts and help in any way you can.

This is absolutely horrible and the city should be held financially and morally responsible for the decimation of the ranks of the firefighters and the decrease in their ability two attacks these types of fires. That decrease is caused directly by the City of New Orleans cutting hiring, closing firehouses, under Manning firehouses and generally not giving the firefighters what they need to protect our beautiful city.
Greater New Orleans folks: you may donate here to the local LA Red Cross and specify for the donation to go to your local community disasters www.redcross.org/local/louisiana.html <3 Hope this helps.
