“[Milton] passed over the house. We have a neighbor we are looking for. He lived in a trailer. The trailer is no longer there,” he said.
He is now trying to lend a hand to workers who must rebuild the infrastructure. Mr. Primeau said in an interview with LCN that it was an electricity supplier who contacted him to seek his support.
“They contacted me a little before the storm to see if I was going to be available,” he said. He took out his restaurant truck to feed the population and the workers on the ground.
“There are a lot of needs. There are cleaning teams working all day, and they will come and eat around 8 or 9 o’clock this evening,” explained Mr. Primeau.
“It’s a business, but we’re going to let the business side take care of itself.” […]. The reality is that it’s a kitchen on wheels, and the world needs to eat. It’s time to get out. This is not the time to ask questions,” he added.
