Some New Orleans firefighters are having trouble washing their uniforms because of the city's budget crisis.
Andy Monteverde, vice president of the New Orleans Firefighters Association, says about half a dozen washing machines at various fire stations are broken.
He says firefighters submit the paperwork to request the repairs, only to get the word that no appliance repairs are being approved at this time.
Monteverde says they have no choice but to do their laundry at home.
