St. Bernard  Firefighter Earl Borden was use to fighting fire, but on Wednesday  December 14th, he found himself on the opposite end of fighting fire. At  approximately 3:30pm Firefighter Borden was coming out of the bathroom of his Meraux home, when he opened the door and was overtaken by smoke knee high, he also saw flames from across the room. Firefighter Borden immediately crawled under the smoke to a nearby window, which he broke out to escape, then called 911. Firefighter Borden's home was  considered a loss with few possessions salvageable. Firefighter Borden has a family of 4 including a 18 month old daughter and 8 year old  stepson. His fellow firefighters have stepped up to assist them and have opened an account at Gulf Coast Bank under the Earl Borden and Family  Fire Disaster Fund.
