  • I appreciate being able to see such an incredible piece of Jacksonville's history. My father was a member of a volunteer organization, the Jacksonville Emergency Corps, and participated in rescue efforts during this disaster and for a brief moment in the film I was able to spot him. He passed away a few years ago and seeing this was very special.

  • Is that Chief Gary Keys at 9:02? Sure looks like him.
