Mobile was lucky to dodge the wrath of Hurricane Gustav. Now the city is sending hurricane help to an area that was not as fortunate.Fire fighters and members of Mobile's Urban Development Department are on their way to Baton Rouge.
Mobile Fire-Rescue will be transport 5,000 bottles of water, 1,800 MRE's and 8 generators. Urban Development will send a crew of four people from the Urban Forestry division with chainsaws, a bucket truck and other tools for clearing fallen trees.
“We spoke with city officials in Baton Rouge, and this is what they said they needed,” said Mayor Sam Jones. “We are happy to help. You never know when you are going to need this kind of help yourself. We feel it is our duty to contribute.”
