Firefighters from across the greater Tampa Bay region have been deployed to Surfside to assist in rescue efforts at the site of last week's condo building collapse.
Early Saturday morning, a special operations team from Hillsborough, Tampa and St. Petersburg Fire Rescue were sent to the site of the collapse.
They are part of Task Force 3, a team of 72 workers who are specially trained in such rescue missions.
The team also includes physicians and engineers, along with K-9 units.
Those assisting in the rescue efforts left in a convoy of 24 vehicles with equipment that will also be used to house the personnel.
The deployment is expected to last seven days.
