Article issues

Of the five sources four and directly related (NOFD) primary. One has to be creative or rely on supposition to tie The NOFD and "many burned buildings" referred to in the "Hurricane Katrina" subsection. Many burned buildings, a city, and a fire department. Something should tie things together. Maybe the streets were too flooded so the fire department could only sit around playing cards. Probably not.

Not sure about the "Disbanded Fire Companies" subsection with relation to the article, or to history.
The NOFD has over 130 years of history. One history book has 500 pages.
There is also "New Orleans Fire at 130: Pompiers and Circumstances": "A look back at 130 years of the New Orleans Fire Department's history, and its “pompiers” (firefighters)", by Steven Shaw (January 27, 2022). -- Otr500 (talk) 04:56, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
