NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass. (WPRI) — It's been three weeks since Hurricaine Ian hit Florida and the recovery is far from over. People have been helping out where they can, including local firefighters, who just returned from their mission of mercy. Firefighters from Smithfield, Foxboro and North Attleboro were among the dozens deployed down to Fort Myers Beach two days after the category four hurricane hit. They recalled a town in ruins. Lieutenant Scott Maguire of the North Attleboro Fire Department called the devastation 'breathtaking.
