WEATHER FOR HEROES: FLORIDA FIREFIGHTER LOSES HOME TO DEBBY STORM SURGE WHILE ON
DUTY

Husband, father and firefighter Kyle Moore was dispatched saving Florida
residents from Debby’s wrath while his own family and home were also in danger.

PARRISH, Fla. –  Husband, father and firefighter Kyle Moore was helping save
Florida residents from Debby’s wrath while his own family and home were also in
danger.




Lieutenant of the Parrish Fire District, Moore noted how critical the situation
was becoming when his team saw the water quickly rise about a foot or more every
half hour as the storm drew near the Sunshine State.

"That's when we all knew this is going to be serious," he said. "There's nothing
to play around with. We need to get people out of here."

Knowing that he had his own people to rescue, Moore was able to go on leave for
about an hour to bring his wife, child, livestock and animals to safety.




He then returned to the line of duty to continue helping his fellow Floridians.

Once the water subsided, Moore said his team found more vehicles that ran off
the road and hundreds of homes that were damaged by water.

"Our community really, really took a hit," he said. "We're really seeing the
aftermath of it, and it's more than we thought it was going to be."

Despite having seen multiple storms and the storm surges they produce, Moore
noted how none had inundated his community as badly as Debby.

He hopes that the impact of Debby might raise awareness about how new
developments in the area are pushing water onto land where lifelong Floridians
live.

He extended his gratitude to Florida Gov. Ron Desantis for reaching out to him
and his family, the 2546 Suncoast Professional Firefighter Union and his
brothers and sisters in the fire service for their support.

"I can't thank them enough," he said.
