Summary
A major fire erupted at an RV park in Belle Chasse, sending flames visible across New Orleans—thankfully with no injuries, but exposing a critical flaw: firefighters found both nearby hydrants useless, one dry and the other lacking pressure. Fire Chief Roy Robichaux is furious, blaming Inframark for neglecting maintenance duties, and now questioning the readiness of all hydrants in Plaquemines Parish. This incident underscores how vital working infrastructure is—even for brave first responders—to save lives when seconds count.
