The Los Angeles County Fire Department urban search and rescue group that provided earthquake relief in Nepal has returned home. Members of Task Force 2 and their dogs left the U.S. for Nepal on April 26. Shortly after arriving, they helped rescue a 15-year-old boy found alive the rubble of a hotel.

Here's an NBC4 clip of the Sunday reunion with families and co-workers at the base in Pacoima.
