Over 800 firefighters risked their lives to save the residents, animals and ultimately our neighborhood .This firsthand account from a trained emergency responder covers how to prepare for emergency disasters, common responses to a traumatic event, the impact on the community, lessons learned, and ongoing recovery efforts.
