L.A. County first responders return from 2-week rescue and recovery effort in Turkey

The team returned to Southern California on Monday evening after a 14-day search and rescue deployment to the hardest hit areas of the region.

During that time, the group tried to find people trapped in the rubble following the 7.8-magnitude quake that rocked the country. Authorities estimate 47,000 people across Turkey and Syria are dead, and hundreds injured from the collapse. Canine Search Specialist Jake Armendariz described some of the things he saw : "Buildings - eight stories to 10 stories tall - just completely pulverized."

"Just being part of this team and training all the time together is what helps us be prepared for something like this," he added.
