Pensacola Fire Department volunteers return from Hurricane Helene relief efforts in Gilchrist County
SUMMARY: Responders in Pensacola are actively assisting those affected by recent power restorations, which have led to numerous home fires. Pensacola Fire Deputy Chief Justin Horde reported that their crew joined a structure fire task force to mitigate this risk. Although there were widespread power outages and potential fire hazards, no fires required extinguishing this year. Four volunteers from the Pensacola Fire Department spent nearly a week in Gilcrest County, preparing for emergencies before returning home Wednesday evening. They remain ready to address any fire incidents that may arise as power is restored.
Hurricane Helene made landfall one week ago today, and four firefighters on Pensacola Fire Deputy Chief Justin Hoard’s team saw the damage from the storm firsthand as they responded to help out with the damage in Gilchrist County.
