Firefighter with RCFD trying to convince people to leave their homes; Braeburn Addition, etc. Didn't believe us. With the fire truck that rescued Tom Hennies, and many more. Next day and many thereafter body recovery. Mind altering event! Found small child in flooded basement 500 block New York St. Handed up to people on ground level, turned out to be Mayor Barnett and Governor Dick Kneip. Ozzie Oshiem was firefighters savior as he made us stop and take time for ourselves during recovery period. I was the driver on the truck when the men crossed over the bridge to Chapel Valley area. Never saw them again.
