LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County Fire Department’s international search-and-rescue team has been activated to respond to Venezuela after two powerful earthquakes struck the center of the country.
The team, known as USA-2, was activated by the U.S. Department of State and departed from the department’s Technical Operations facility on June 25.
