Two six-man Urban Search and Rescue teams were scheduled to leave Wheeler Air Force Base tonight to help with efforts to find seven missing people following the dam breach on Kaua'i.

Personnel from the Honolulu Emergency Medical Services Division and state firefighters will join six Honolulu firefighters as part of those teams, a news release said. A Honolulu Fire Department battalion chief will accompany the teams.

No other details were released.
