Local crews sent north to assist with flooding in Northern & Central CA as the SD Fire-Rescue Department's Technical Rescue team left on Sunday.
SAN DIEGO – It’s a harsh reality that San Diego Fire-Rescue Battalion Chief Aide Barbat and his Technical Rescue and Swift Water Rescue team are witnessing in Northern and Central California.
The 16-member rescue crew headed up north on Sunday. They first arrived in Cameron Park, which is about 40 miles north of the scene in flooded Sacramento. On Tuesday, they were in Merced County. But it's something that Barbat and his team, whether they're seasoned or new, are prepared for with daily, monthly and quarterly training.
And that training's making all of the difference as they are in the midst of a 14-day commitment to helping these communities.
