ALL RIGHT. THREE, TWO, ONE SHAY O’CONNOR HERE ALONG MAGAZINE STREET, WHERE THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING I’VE NEVER. I MEAN, THE SNOW IS GETTING DEEPER AND DEEPER, AND I HAVE WITH ME IN NOFD. WHAT’S YOUR NAME? CAPTAIN HENNESSY. DEFINITELY. AND YOUR NAME? OPERATOR. BUFORD. WOW. OKAY, SO MY FIRST QUESTION. WHO MADE THIS SNOWBALL SNOWMAN RIGHT HERE? THAT’S MY ATTEMPT OF A SNOWMAN. YOU KNOW, I WAS TRYING TO. IT KEPT TELLING ME I HAD TO ROLL A BALL AND PUSH IT AROUND, BUT I STARTED THIS FIRST, JUST TRYING TO SCOOP IT TOGETHER, AND IT TURNED INTO A SNOW. HERSHEY’S KISS. SO NICE WORK. HOW LONG DID DID IT TAKE TO MAKE THIS SNOW? HERSHEY KISS? OH, THAT’S ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. YEAH, WITH ALL THE SNOW. IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG AT ALL. I LOVE IT, AND I MEAN, JUST TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN RIGHT NOW, I ONLY ASSUME THAT YOU ALL ARE JUST KIND OF ON STANDBY JUST IN CASE SOMETHING POPS OFF, RIGHT? WELL, WE’RE WORKING. WE’RE ON DUTY. WE JUST. WE JUST CAN’T. WE’VE MADE TWO CALLS ALREADY THIS MORNING. WOW. TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THOSE CALLS. ONE OF THEM WAS A MEDICAL CALL AT AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY. THE ONE WE JUST CAME BACK FROM WAS A GIRL WHO CAME OUTSIDE TO LOOK AT THE SNOW AND LOCKED HERSELF OUT OF HER APARTMENT. OH MY GOSH. SO NOT TOO BAD. BUT THAT IS A SHE LOCKS HERSELF OUT OF HER APARTMENT. YES SHE DID. SHE SAID SHE WAS TAKING THE TRASH OUT AND LOOKING AT THE SNOW AND HER BOTTOM LOCK LOCKED ON HER. WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? I ACTUALLY LIKE TO HEAR THAT. NOTHING TOO SERIOUS. TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, I GUESS, HOW YOU ALL ARE GOING TO GET THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS IF PEOPLE YOU KNOW ARE INTERESTED, WE’RE JUST GOING TO TAKE WHAT COMES AS IT GOES. THIS IS HOW THIS IS HOW WE WORK. YOU BRING IT IN, WE’LL TAKE CARE OF IT. HAVE YOU ALL EVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS? I KNOW I HAVEN’T. AS A NEW ORLEANS NATIVE, I’M THE ONLY ONE HERE THAT COULD SAY THAT BECAUSE I HAVE 41 YEARS ON THE JOB IN THE EARLY 90S, WHEN PELICAN ICE HOUSE BURNED, WE WERE THE FIRST COMPANY ON THE SCENE. WE STAYED AT WORK FOR THREE DAYS. WE FOUGHT 40 WORKING FIRES IN 3 TO 3 DAYS. WE WERE IN THERE. I’VE NEVER BEEN THAT COLD BEFORE IN MY LIFE. WAS IT AS MUCH SNOW AS THIS? IT WAS CLOSE. SO LET’S HOPE THAT THERE’S NO EMERGENCIES LIKE THAT, RIGHT? I THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR TALKING WITH ME. WE’RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO CHECK OUT CONDITIONS IN THE UPTOWN AREA AND GET BACK WITH YOU.
