National Guard troops arrived in Englewood on Thursday afternoon to help firefighters search mobile home parks for survivors. All of Englewood's mobile home communities sustained significant damage from Hurricane Ian's winds with many homes destroyed or severely damaged. The Englewood Area Fire Control District has plans to search each mobile home, door-to-door Thursday night. Battalion Chief Raymond Reese said the firefighters were looking for people who may be trapped inside damaged homes or who needed help. The firefighters had help from the National Guardsmen. The 3rd Battalion, 116th Field Artillery, joined firefighters at their staging area in front of the Englewood Shopping Plaza as they prepared the search.
