As some of you may know, I am also the editor of VAFireNews.com. VAFireNews.com is an online State fire news website. I have been following the news and emails on Virginia Task Force 1 out of Fairfax County and Virginia Task Force 2 out of Virginia Beach. If you have links, info, news, photos, video, or anything else to share please let me know via Fire Critic or at editor@vafirenews.com.
At this point in time, Virginia Task Force 1 has two teams operating in Haiti assisting with rescue operations following the 7.0 earthquake.
USA-1 is the original heavy response team of 72 members which arrived in Haiti on the 13th.
USA-2 Medium is the 36-42 member team which arrived in Haiti this morning (15th).
Virginia Task Force 2 has one team of 80 members which should have arrived in Haiti last night or this morning.
At this point, the teams have made several rescues and are certainly making an impact in the Haiti Earthquake relief efforts!
To keep up with the news on Virginia Task Force 1 and Virginia Task Force 2, please direct your attention to a constantly updated thread on VAFireNews.com here . Much of the information on Virginia Task Force 1 can also be viewed at STATter 911.
