ABC 10News reporter Madison Weil spoke with a San Diego firefighter who has been deployed to Maui to help in the aftermath of the wildfires.
SAN DIEGO — As thousands continue to face the overwhelming aftermath of the Maui fires, a San Diego firefighter/paramedic from a special task force has been deployed to help.
“The warning systems are in place. Sometimes they work, and other times they may not. It’s very devastating to see that.” “On Sunday, we got a call for a request for one of our task force members to deploy out to Maui to assist with the wildfires that have happened out there,” he said. “He’s one of our logistics specialists so he’s going out there to support that cause,” he said. “Our FEMA urban search and rescue team, California task force 8 is one of eight teams here in California and 28 nationally.”
