[0:01] She drowned in Friday night.
[0:06] >> Well, Brousard wants lawmakers to begin
[0:08] immediate congressional hearings to
[0:10] investigate hurricane relief efforts.
[0:12] South Florida is expected to take in
[0:14] even more evacuees needing medical
[0:15] attention. Dozens arrived over the
[0:17] weekend at the Opalaka airport. Some
[0:19] were carried off the plane in
[0:21] stretchers. The Miami VA Medical Center
[0:24] transferred the patients to several area
[0:26] hospitals prepared to care for their
[0:27] medical issues. The Miami Children's
[0:29] Hospital will help with the care and
[0:31] treatment of incoming children. South
[0:34] Florida firefighters will be out in
[0:36] force again today, raising money on
[0:38] South Florida streets for the hurricane

[0:59] the boot drive every Labor Day weekend
[1:01] for the same charity.
[1:02] >> Every year we do the same MDA drive. The
[1:05] International Association of
[1:06] Firefighters has a very good
[1:07] relationship with MDA.
[1:08] >> But with these pictures burned into
[1:10] everyone's mind this year is all about
[1:13] the boot and it's all about Katrina as
[1:15] well.
[1:15] >> Due to their generosity, what we're
[1:18] doing this year as a department
[1:19] directive is just pretty much splitting
[1:21] the proceeds. Miami Dade firefighters
[1:23] are giving at least 80% of what's going
[1:26] in the boot to their firefight
