LA Firefighters Return from Venezuela Rescue Mission | Venice Beach News

Los Angeles County firefighters returned home after an 11-day mission in Venezuela, where they battled alongside local teams to rescue survivors from the rubble of twin earthquakes that killed over 3,500 and left tens of thousands missing. One firefighter called the devastation worse than Nepal, as families frantically searched for loved ones and international aid struggled to meet the scale of the crisis. The U.S. State Department coordinated the deployment of four task forces, including USA-2, whose 71 members and six K-9 units were welcomed home with emotional reunions. The LA County Fire Department honored their bravery and pledged continued support for Venezuela’s long road to recovery.
