The Los Angeles Fire Department’s (LAFD) Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) program is a dynamic system, which has evolved over the past decade into two distinctly separate, yet cohesive urban search and rescue components, the LAFD US&R Task Forces and the FEMA US&R Task Force. These teams are capable of a unified response local or mobilization of the FEMA US&R Task Force for a federally declared disaster elsewhere.
An employee working a US&R company, or assigned to a US&R Task force, or to the US&R Unit and provides US&R training and oversight on a full-time basis, or are assigned to the Heavy Rescue and is US&R certified shall receive a premium of 5.4% of step 6 of schedule 2
