Hollywood Fire Rescue crews were inside a hot nursing home to rescue dying people on the Monday after Hurricane Irma, then again Tuesday and twice Wednesday before forcing an evacuation. What they saw and how they responded inside the nursing home where 12 people died after 62 hours without air conditioning is the subject of a deposition examined by the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Hollywood Fire Rescue Lt. Amy Parrinello, in a sworn interview Dec. 5 with a nursing home attorney, had the same answer to dozens of questions about what she and her team observed: “I don’t recall.”
