The Light USAR team from @fire was again on duty today at seve­ral collap­sed buil­dings in Kahr­a­man­ma­ras. Rescue dogs had struck at two collap­sed houses. With tech­ni­cal loca­ting equip­ment and addi­tio­nal rescue dogs, the task was to verify the suspi­cion. For this purpose, listening devices were used in parti­cu­lar - search came­ras were also used to look into cavi­ties. Howe­ver, the suspi­ci­ons could not be confirmed.

Unfort­u­na­tely, part of the work of the search and rescue team is to deal with the fact that in many cases they cannot help. At least then the hope remains that they can at least give the rela­ti­ves some certainty about what happened to their loved ones under the rubble.

Further­more, the team was deployed in the surroun­ding area of the city for various recon­nais­sance missi­ons.
