First responders reflect on Louisville tornado decade later
SUMMARY: Community members in Louisville, Mississippi gathered to honor the first responders and firefighters who were on the front lines ten years ago when a devastating tornado hit the town. The responders, including Chief Robert Hutto, reflected on the tragic day and the lessons they learned about response, communication, and coordination. The tragedy changed their perspectives and taught them the importance of working together. As they lay a wreath in honor of moving forward, they remember the lives lost and the need to continue to support each other in the face of future disasters.
