History
UT-TF 1, Urban Search & Rescue (US&R/USAR) was formed by the direction of FEMA over 19 years ago. All task forces are managed by full-time fire departments & firefighters who in return use this specialized training every day.
True support for this type of response was identified after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and the Oklahoma City bombing in April 1995.

“The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice—although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
