At 11pm on August 27, 2005 departments from almost every fire department in Jefferson Parish brought apparatus to the Joseph S. Yenni building in preparation for an 80 mile convoy out of harms way before Hurricane Katrina struck the area. The move of about seventy firetrucks did not leave the parish unprotected (many units stayed behind to protect the citizens of the parish), but rather it positioned several trucks from each west bank fire department and from each east bank fire department to return immediately following the storm should the original trucks get damaged. The following pictures show only some of the trucks that made the journey.
