I am so glad Dana is safe. I was her kindergarten teacher at Longleaf a long time ago.I heard about her story from her mom.Dana always was a special girl even way back in kindergarten. Our house flooded too or I would be out helping.

I would like to express gratitude and appreciation from ECFR to the citizens who volunteered their efforts and personal watercraft to effect what turned out to be a successful rescue of many residents of Bristol Park and other neighborhoods. If not for the assistance of these citizens we could not have made this possible. Their willingness to assist while putting themselves in harm’s way with the rescues and utilization of their boats was invaluable. We also had fire department personnel assist with their personal watercraft that was equally as valuable to the operation. Gulf Breeze Fire Department and Escambia Search and Rescue also assisted with the rescues as well as volunteer and career personnel from Escambia County Fire Rescue. Everyone worked tirelessly, in extremely difficult situations, to make the total operation a success for the citizens of Bristol Park, Bristol Woods, Ashbury Hills, and Plantation Woods. In all ECFR, ECEMS, FWC, ESAR, ECAT, Escambia County School Board, Gulf Breeze FD and private citizens had 9 boats and 2 wave runners in-service rescuing residents.
