In a break from the normal routine, Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett took a moment during Friday's press conference to single out the man leading the rescue effort for Miami-Dade Fire.
"I want to personally thank Ray Jadallah for working 20 hours a day and sleeping four hours a night since the beginning," Burkett said. "He's the guy I always see when I'm here and I'm here a lot."
In addition to directing efforts on the site, Jadallah has also been the person who briefs family members daily, speaking honestly with them about the rescue efforts.
