Speaker 1: And when you say you're in rescue mode, tell me

26
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: what that means right now. Uh, that means that, Uh,

27
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: we're looking for viable areas to search for live victims,

28
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: working and coordinating with the local government on sites that

29
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: they give us, and we continue to assess it search

30
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: and then if once we do have maybe alerts from

31
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: our search and rescued live fine canine dogs, we go

32
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: into a rescue mode and we're able to work around

33
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: the clock even in degree weather that they have here.

34
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: And people have survived this for a week or a

35
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: week plus. Now, how much longer do you think people

36
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: can survive in these conditions? You know, that's a difficult question.

37
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: You know, there's um the wl to survive is a

38
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: huge motivation and here in Turkey they're still pulling victims

39
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: out of the rubble in various eras throughout the country.

40
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: Here in the city we're in. Just two days ago

41
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: they were able to pull out a live victim, and

42
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: still being in these types of difficult conditions with the

43
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: weather at a devastations, I think hope still there. I

44
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: think we will continue in that mission of rescuing doing

45
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: anything we can, assisting the local first responders here in UH,

46
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: going through these buildings and working side by side with them.

50
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: I live in San Juan Capistranto. But we worked there

51
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: in the hundred and seventy one stations Tota Lake County.

52
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: And you're out there now working with coordinating with everybody

53
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: else for this rescue mission in Turkey, and we've seen

54
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: the devastation. It's it's just unfathomable. I mean to put

55
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: into words what's happened there? How do you find Okay?

56
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: Here you go, you're going out today, you're on a

57

Speaker 1: mission to rescue. How do you find people? You mentioned dogs?

58
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: What else do you use to find people alive? I

59
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: think in that search process, one of the biggest UH

60
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: assets we have is our canine life find rescue dogs,

61
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: but then we also validate UH the alerting of the

62
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: dogs with our acoustic equipment, our cameras and all the

63
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: equipment we have for breaking breaching, not only to get

64
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: closer to the victims and get a more in depth search,

65
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: but then also to go into that rescue operation to

66
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: continue those UH concrete cutting capabilities and metal taping capabilities.

67
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: We're here and we can. We can hold ourselves here

68
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,520

69
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: fuel and we're self sufficient with shelter heat, and we

70
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,760
