New Orleans Fire Dept. Busy Fighting Zika – IOTW Report

New Orleans Fire Dept. Busy Fighting Zika

New Orleans firefighters are now being treated like interns for the city.

Hayride: Firefighters are no longer expected to just do their jobs in the city. Now, they are taking on other demands, working odd jobs for the city, and most recently helping to fight the Zika virus.

The insect killer – or “insecticide” – had been discovered in 1939 and used extensively by the U.S. military during the war. So, it is no wonder that the postwar period saw the dawning of the chemical age in pesticides.
