Good news. All FW Task Force 1 members are back home tired but safe. Said that 90% of everyone they encountered were extremely appreciative of the help. Concerning the other 10% I don't see any point in mentioning here. The crews were escorted by Louisiana Game Wardens most of the time. Said at one point they helped evacuate an entire firestation crew who was held up in the second floor of a hotel. When they reached them the fire crew said that they were done and just wanted out because there was nothing they could do at that point without any equipment.
