The County of Los Angeles Fire Department’s Urban Search and Rescue team, known internationally as USA-2 has been activated by the U.S. Department of State to respond to Jamaica in wake of Hurricane Melissa. USA-2 is comprised of 34 members, 4 canines and 42,000 pounds of equipment. They are joining the Fairfax County Fire Department’s USAR team, USA-1, to provide search, rescue and recovery assistance. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all affected by the devastation left by Hurricane Melissa.

Rookie Los Angeles firefighter Kenneth Fraser was driving home when he stopped to save a man who was threatening to jump from a freeway overpass. Fraser has a few months of training, but he relied on his skills of compassion for this rescue. http://4.nbcla.com/AY1qEyG "I was able to identify by explaining to him what I had to experience growing up and other issues and problems, and what I did to overcome that," Fraser says. "Everybody is a human being, first and foremost." | NBC LA
