It’s always nice to be welcomed by big cities. You just never know whether or not they will want a hand, since many of them have big budgets, paid firefighters on staff and equipment to boot. But, similar to the floods earlier this year in Cranston, Rhode Island, they invited us to help.
Then, we received an email from Dr. Forbes..."head north," he said, "there is going to be a small city by the name of Windsor that is going to get hit badly; they have a swamp in the surrounding areas with a river that will really cause some flooding.” We shook hands with the Wilmington Fire Department, thanked them for their hospitality and headed out.
When we arrived in Windsor, we were able to help with water rescues through the night until state water rescue teams arrived the next day.
