Sometimes the business of fighting fires gets personal.
Fire Chief Jimmy Green knows that all too well.
On Jan. 11 he spent much of the night helping put out a blaze that destroyed the home of his wife's grandmother, Helen Parker, in Vancleave.
We all know that every house destroyed by fire belongs to someone's relative. Yet its seems a little tougher for those who protect and serve when the tragedy hits home, according to the fire chief.
"It's hard when you're going through the house fightin' fire .... kicking your child's toys outta the way," Green told reporter Sylvia Hall at WLOX-TV 13 on Monday, Jan. 12.
The family plans to rebuild the home that was on Gautier-Vancleave Road, the reporter said.
We salute you, Chief Jimmy Green, for your bravery in the face of family disaster and heartache.
