We've been telling you about grants to help raise your home since Hurricane Katrina. It's part of a large effort to help people, not only stay in their homes but also prevent flooding. One local family is doing just that, but they've run into a few problems. From here the story takes some twists and turns. After Hurricane Katrina, a local firefighter says he lost $25,000 when a contractor from up north left without finishing the job. So, now he called us when he got concerned about new work on his home, but this time, there is a completely different ending. “And I made my first two alarm with my brother, and it was like I'm hooked. You really do get to help people at their worst,” said Richard Veazey about his career as a New Orleans Firefighter. After 30 years of saving lives and property in New Orleans, Richard Veazey finally earned his dream. He’s stationed at the Venetian Isles firehouse and living right down the street on the waterfront.
