Hundreds of Florida’s emergency responders are returning home to prepare for Hurricane Irma just days after they headed to Texas to help with the Hurricane Harvey relief. ome firefighters and paramedics face the task of jumping from one disaster to preparing for potentially another as their home state readies for a possible hit. “That’s what we’re trained to do,” said Andy Popick, a Davie fire rescue battalion chief who flew to Dallas to aid in relief efforts. “You adapt and overcome obstacles.” Popick returned home Monday from a trip with a federal Disaster Medical Response Team to help with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. Popick’s team helped doctors treat injured evacuees in Dallas’s Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.
