Kentucky lawmakers are being asked to establish a statewide urban search and rescue program. The measure currently awaits action by the full House. Testifying in committee was Lexington Fire Captain Ryan Hogsten. Hogsten said members of this team would work to stabilize areas hit by a disaster.
“We go in there and shore those buildings up so we can affect rescue. So the building doesn’t fall any further. So, we can go and shore those structures up and then go in and do the rescue efforts to remove people from the building,” said Hogsten
