NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Several New Orleans Fire Department members were awarded Tuesday, April 15, for their courage and quick response during the New Year’s Day terror attack.
NOFD Deputy Superintendent Roman Nelson said not only were the firefighters who were on the ground on Bourbon Street that day awarded but also the ones who responded to the housefire on Mandeville Street believed to be set by the terrorist.
“In addition to the ones that responded to Bourbon Street, we also had firefighters that extinguished the fire that the bad actor had set on Mandeville Street, and they also located explosive devices and other things that helped this case be wrapped up very quickly and everything be sorted out,” said Nelson.
A total of 57 firefighters were honored by the Medical Association of Southeast Louisiana.
