Fewer and fewer survivors are being found and an official said nearly 2,300 people are now confirmed dead and tens of thousands remain missing. Amna Nawaz spoke with Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Daniel Gajewski. His team has 79 people and six dogs in Venezuela.

Chief Gajewski, welcome to the "News Hour." Thanks for joining us.

So give us a sense of what it's like on the ground. I understand you and your team are in La Guaira, which is one of the hardest-hit areas.
