ON 6 FEBRUARY 2023, London Fire Brigade temporary sub officer Tracy Doyle had taken the night off to visit her girlfriend near Birmingham, who she hadn’t seen for two weeks due to shift patterns. Then Tracy got the call. A 7.8 magnitude earthquake had struck Turkey and Syria. Homes had been destroyed and the death toll was mounting. In May, the Red Cross reported that 50,000 people had died and 100,000 more were injured.
Tracy was one of 77 International Search and Rescue (ISAR)
