More than 80 Los Angeles County fire personnel were dispatched on Feb. 6, soon after a magnitude 7.8 earthquake devastated Turkey and northern Syria.
Search-and-rescue workers from Los Angeles have returned from Turkey after spending weeks assisting in the aftermath of the region’s massive earthquake, which killed tens of thousands of people and displaced hundreds of thousands more.
The crew assessed more than 6,000 buildings, including hospitals and homes, surveying dozens of structures a day to determine whether they were safe for residents to move back inside. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department also deployed seven members of its search-and-rescue program, who arrived in Turkey on Feb. 10, according to a news release.
