VIDEO: Firefighters from Northern Kentucky teamed up with search and rescue teams after devastating floods killed dozens in eastern parts of the commonwealth. The Northern Kentucky All-Hazards Incident Management Team finished a nine day deployment with the Kentucky National Guard Armory in Hazard. Members from 17 Northern Kentucky jurisdictions demobilized and arrived back in the region Friday afternoon. Battalion Chief Chris Alsip was with a team of 19. He says the next step for eastern Kentucky is cleanup and infrastructure restoration. ”People will tell you stories about their family members being unaccounted for,” Alsip recalled, “and you would look in the area and try and figure out exactly where these people might be.” Alsip returned Tuesday after working five operation days in the area to help community members.
