All,
Three San Diego Fire Department crew members were (some critical) injured in a crash this morning while on their way to assist with Hurricane Helene operations.
They were apart of SDFD’s Urban Search & Rescue California Task Force 8 en route to North Carolina. The crew was involved in a two-vehicle crash at 0245 hours Sunday on East Highway 20 near the border of Texas and Louisiana.
There are reports of over 1,000 people still unaccounted for in North Carolina.
The Firefighters injuries range from moderate to critical, and all members are currently recovering at the Louisiana State University Hospital in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The 48 members were deployed Friday to assist with water rescues in Charlotte, North Carolina. Thirty-two of those members were San Diego members and other members include Carlsbad, Chula Vista, El Cajon, La Mesa, Rancho Santa Fe, San Marcos and Santee FF’s.
