| A close up of the boats |
During Katrina and its immediate aftermath, the only water rescue capability available to the New Orleans Fire Department was the use of personal boats owned by members of the Department. Even with this limited capability, these dedicated firefigters rescued over 18,000 individuals, a great sucess given that the New Orleans Fire Department 's response area covers over 300 square miles.

The Leary Firefighters Foundation thanks its generous supporters: Ruth's Chris Steak House; world-renowned Chef Ming Tsai, owner of Blue Ginger Restaurant in Wellesley, MA and host of television's "Simply Ming"; and Ernie Boch, President and CEO of Boch Enterprises in Norwood, MA.
