Louisiana's firefighters get help from local departments

SAVOY – Six local firefighters – three from Savoy and three from Champaign – have returned from Louisiana after helping to relieve firefighters following the recent hurricanes.

"I think it was beneficial for them," allowing Louisiana firefighters to have some time off for their own families and homes, said Jeremy Leevey, an engineer and EMT from Savoy who was one of those who made the trip.
